The Venezuelan illegals whom Joe Biden has paroled into the country to roam free aren’t just murder suspects and green-card fraudsters.
At least one has become a pro-crime activist trying to raise money for a 15-year-old compatriot who, police allege, tried to murder someone in Times Square on February 8.
And, illegal alien Leonal Moreno admits, he’s here to collect welfare. In other words, like almost 100 percent of those who apply for asylum, he’s here for free stuff.
Almost all asylum applicants are ineligible for such status, and likely lie when they say they fear violence and persecution. But they know that President Joe Biden — hoping they will vote Democrat in the future — will release them to disappear into the heartland, never to be deported or even found.
The Video
“Venezuelan migrant Leonal Moreno posted a video to his social media urging his over 300,000 followers to ‘unite’ and pay the fines of a 15-year-old migrant who allegedly shot a tourist in Times Square earlier this month,” Fox News explained:
“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. Remember that up there there’s a God who sees everything [down here],” the Venezuelan TikToker said.
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.”’
Moreno was discussing the charges against one Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa, yet another Venezuelan criminal Biden thought it a bright idea to release.
He tried to rob a sports store, the New York Post reported, then “blasted a Brazilian tourist and squeezed off two rounds at pursuing cops.”
“Let’s unite forces so that this child can be free and has an opportunity,” the murder-friendly Moreno said.
But worse still is Moreno’s confession that he’s here for welfare and free stuff.
Here to “Vacation”
So credit Moreno for one thing: He’s read the American political system perfectly.
“In another video posted February 21st, Moreno expressed his intention behind migrating to the United States,” Fox reported.
“You came to the United States to work, and I came to vacation, look at the difference,” Moreno explained. “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.”
Continued Moreno, who thinks Americans are suckers:
I confess that I don’t like to work because it gives me allergies. You work, I don’t, but in the end, neither of us have money. They keep criticizing us because I live off of taxes that you pay monthly.
Most Asylees Are Bogus
Most of those who claim asylum for fear of violence or persecution in their native lands are lying, as The New American has reported myriad times, citing survey data going back to 2016.
For instance, when they were deluging the southwest border in 2016 and 2017, “migrants” from the Northern Triangle of Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador readily admitted why they traveled north: for jobs.
As TNA reported in late 2018, almost 100 percent of Guatemalans that Mexico returned home confessed that truth to researchers in 2016 and 2017. Almost all Hondurans interviewed during those two years said the same thing. So did Salvadorans.
For “migrants” turned away by the United States, the numbers were the same. But had they entered the country, they likely would have concocted a wild tale of fear of staying where they belong.
In 2019, the Trump administration reported that most asylum claims are turned down.
“Over the last five years,” a White House briefing paper reported in 2019, “we have seen a 2,000% increase in asylum claims, yet 72% of migrants report making the journey for economic reasons and therefore would not typically qualify for asylum.”
And “only 1 in 10 asylum claims [is] granted for persons from Northern triangle countries.”
Last year, the Center for Immigration Law and Policy at the University of California Los Angeles reported that 99 percent of asylum claims are bogus.
Andrew Arthur of the Center for Immigration Studies, a former immigration judge, concluded likewise for The New York Post.
Americans have no reason to believe that’s changed, not only because of Venezuelan grifter Moreno but also because of the sheer number of “migrants” landing at the border — more than 1.2 million people since the beginning of fiscal 2024, and more than 7 million since President Joe Biden took office.
FBI officials have warned that a frightening number are military-age men who might well be assembling a sleeper army or network of terror cells that will attack the United States internally.
But that possibility aside, as battle-clad Syrians recently admitted as they crossed the border, “we love America,” and “we’re coming for jobs.”
Unlike Moreno, at least they’re coming to work. Or so they say.
