An illegal border crosser from socialist Venezuela has posted videos on social media boasting about not having to work in the United States because he lives off American taxpayers.
Leonal Moreno, an illegal alien with 300,000 followers on TikTok, also posted a video calling on his supporters to “unite” behind the Times Square shooter.
Earlier this month, a teenage illegal was arrested for shooting a tourist in the busy New York City intersection.
Moreno is urging his followers to pay the fines for the teen gunman, Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa.
“I invite you to find [his] mother and [for] all of us to unite to pay the fines [so] that the young Venezuelan feels that he’s not alone during difficult moments,” the Venezuelan TikToker said.
“Remember that up there there’s a God who sees everything [down here].”
He continued, “An entire nation [is] on top of him instead of helping him – remember that the young man is going to be released.
“And he will be released, do you know why? Because he’s underage.”
“You don’t know when God is going to put you in a situation like the one this young man is in,” Moreno continued in the clip, referencing the attempted murder charges against Rivas-Figueroa.
The shooter is being tried as an adult for his actions on February 8.
“Let’s unite forces so that this child can be free and has an opportunity,” he captioned his 90-second TikTok video in Spanish, which has since garnered 2.5 million views.
The comments section of the video collected mixed sentiments, however.
One user called Moreno a “clown.”
“He broke the law, and he should stay in jail or go back to his country,” another wrote.
Moreno’s content focuses on his lifestyle and how he enjoys taking advantage of Americans and living off of money distributed by the government to live an easy life in the U.S.
“I confess that I don’t like to work because it gives me allergies. You work, I don’t,” Morena boasted in one video posted on February 21 which has gone viral on social media.
“In the end, neither of us have money,” he mocked while joking about blowing the tax dollars he’s given.
“They keep criticizing us because I live off of taxes that you pay monthly.”
In another video posted on the same day, Moreno expressed his intention to migrate to the United States while mocking those who go through the legal channels to work and pay taxes.
“You came to the United States to work, and I came to vacation, look at the difference,” he gloated.
“You and I didn’t come with the same purpose.
“You came to the United States to pay the taxes that you didn’t pay in Venezuela.”
The New York Post reported that the Venezuelan TikToker lives in Columbus, Ohio.
Daniel Di Martino, a Manhattan Institute fellow and Venezuelan native, told The New York Post:
“Americans should be outraged to see how someone can come… and abuse the laws and benefits of America.
“Sadly, he’s just one of many who are ripping off the taxpayer because of our own badly written laws that allow them to collect some welfare and take years to decide asylum cases that likely will be denied.”
As the migrant crisis continues across the country, the violent actions of those like Rivas-Figueroa and Jose Antonio Ibarra bring a plethora of questions to the surface regarding the state of immigration.
The crisis is also highlighting the unwillingness of Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration to address the ongoing open border.
