Illegal alien who pushed illegal border crossings and squatting, deported

Consider the case of Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan who slipped across the southern border and thought he’d stumbled into a land of limitless largesse. 

This illegal alien took to TikTok—where else?—to flaunt a fistful of dollar bills, crow about federal handouts, and urge his fellow border-jumpers to squat in America’s abandoned homes. “I didn’t cross the Rio Grande to work like a slave,” he announced, as if the United States owed him a living for the mere act of showing up. 

Well, Moreno’s grand tour has come to an end—he’s been deported back to Venezuela, and not a moment too soon.

This 27-year-old exemplar of entitlement waltzed into Eagle Pass, Texas, on April 23, 2022, under the Biden administration’s porous watch. Released into the country’s interior, he promptly thumbed his nose at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, skipping check-ins like a man too busy to be bothered. 

It wasn’t until March 2024 that the authorities caught up with him in Columbus, Ohio—a full two years of free rein. Deportation was ordered on September 9, 2024, but there was a hitch: Venezuela’s dictator, Nicolas Maduro, had petulantly slammed the door on deportation flights earlier that year, peeved by economic sanctions. 

Only after President Trump took office in 2025 did Caracas relent, and Moreno was bundled onto a plane.

Even then, he couldn’t go quietly. 

This illegal alien kicked up such a fuss on the flight that he had to be cordoned off with extra security—details are murky, but one imagines a tantrum befitting his TikTok bravado. Back in Venezuela, Diosdado Cabell, the grandly titled Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace, rolled out the welcome mat, saying Moreno was “welcome” home. 

One suspects the irony was lost on both men.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration is wrestling with a larger mess: deporting members of Tren de Aragua, a vicious Venezuelan gang-cum-terror outfit. The President dusted off the Alien Enemies Act to fast-track their removal—a rare bit of decisiveness—but the Left, predictably, cried foul. 

A federal judge, appointed by Obama and marinated in progressive sanctimony, slapped an injunction on the move. That ruling was recently upheld by another judge, this one a Democratic donor and Obama campaign volunteer. The pattern is as tiresome as it is transparent.

So here we are: Moreno is gone, but the system that let him linger remains. A nation that can’t control its borders or eject its freeloaders is a nation in name only. “I didn’t cross the Rio Grande to work like a slave,” he said. Nor, it seems, to respect the country that took him in.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Border Patrol on Biden's visit: "Call a lid, hit beach, take nap"

In this photo, it's hard to see the strings attached to Biden's arms and the handler pulling them 

The Border Patrol union tweeted on X in a mock itinerary of the President's day in his visit to the southern border: "Board AF1, take nap. Wake up in place called Brownsville." A photo of Biden in a beach chair was included in the tweet along with,  "Read large teleprompter message, ‘It's all Trump's fault.’ Board AF1, ask who people in green uniforms were, told they ‘strap’ illegal aliens, express horror, take nap. Wake up, call a lid, hit beach, take nap."

In his barely coherent mush-mouth mumbling, Biden complained about the bipartisan immigration bill failing to pass in the Senate, and you'll never guess who he blamed for using it as a political issue [hint: he has orange hair]. Many Republicans are opposed to the bill because they believe that it doesn't go far enough in securing our southern border.

"The majority of Democrats and Republicans in both houses support this legislation," Biden read on a cheat sheet in Brownsville, "until someone came along and said don't do that that'll benefit the incumbent. That's a hell of a way to do business in America for such a serious problem."

But Biden does more business in China than he does in America so that shouldn't bother him much.

Our alleged president now faces a significant increase in scrutiny over how he allowed the border to resemble a sieve as illegal migrants came into the country literally by the millions since Biden may have been elected. 

Just this past December, there was over 300,000 border encounters, giving Biden an all-time record of constitutional misconduct. So instead of crapping his skivvies in front of the Pope, he's doing it in front of the American public as he hopes to win a second term and sees this as a serious problem. If he does get re-elected [heaven forbid] I hope his beach chair holds out after the four-year workout it underwent.

Not so coincidentally, former President Trump as also at the border in Eagle Pass, Texas on Thursday. He correctly pointed out that the border is "being overrun by the Biden migrant crime," and made reference to the young woman, Laken Riley, a Georgia nursing student [with honors] who was allegedly murdered by an illegal Venezuelan national last week.

"The parents are devastated and they’re incredible people," Trump said. "This is a Joe Biden invasion. A Biden invasion. I call him crooked Joe… the most incompetent president we've ever had."

Now to be totally accurate, it isn't a Joe Biden invasion, but his policies have created this mess. And don't believe the "malarkey" you may hear about the low migrant crime rate. First of all, it doesn't matter how low it is--some of the illegal migrants are criminals, some are terrorists and most of them are not seeking asylum--they want jobs. Secondly, it's unconstitutional not to secure our border and that's a good enough reason to impeach Biden.

Biden has tried to blame Trump for the border crisis. If little purple people eaters came down to Earth, Biden, or more likely his handlers, would find a spin on the situation where they can blame Trump for that too.

The truth is, Biden undid everything Trump put in place in his administration, and illegal crossings dropped faster than Hunter drops "parmesan cheese."

On his first day in office, before the dementia hit full-force on the following day, Biden introduced a bill that included amnesty for the illegal aliens already in the country. 

And like Democratic Rep. Tom Malinowski said in 2019 about illegal aliens when he ran and won a second term in New Jersey's 7th District, they are needed to "mow our beautiful lawns," and perform menial jobs tech-focused teenagers won't do. This is how the left sees the illegal migrants. By the way, the GOP immediately rejected Biden's bill.

Republicans in the House introduced and passed legislation of their own that would fund more Border Patrol agents, resume wall construction, restart the Remain-in-Mexico policy and severely limit the ability of migrants to claim asylum.

The Border Patrol union frequently mocks the so called president over illegal immigration.

The organization wrote in part on X on Friday, "Wasn't it Biden who encouraged people from all over the world to ‘surge the border’? Didn't Biden immediately void all the successful Trump EO's that were keeping our border under control? Didn't he publicly and viciously accuse BP agents of criminal assault, then told the world ‘those people will pay’, and the entire thing was made up BS? Has he apologized or taken responsibility for any of it, or asked forgiveness from the victims of some of the millions of illegal aliens he imported into this country?"

And before Biden went to the border, the group posted, "Attention President Biden: Keep our name out of your mouth today."

Mexico upset Texas floating barrier might actually work on Rio Grande

Mexico seems worried that the Texas floating barrier along the Rio Grande may keep illegal aliens on their side of the river and cause them higher crime and lower job availability if the migrants stay. They sent a diplomatic note to the U.S. government saying such an effective barrier may violate treaties on boundaries and water, Foreign Relations Secretary Alicia Bárcena said.

The Associate Press reports that Bárcena says Mexico will send an inspection team to the Rio Grande to see whether any part of the barrier – put in place to deter illegal immigration – extends into Mexico’s side of the border river. If it does, then it's no bueno, amigos. But if Texas can pull it toward their shore just a little, then they have nothing to say on the matter.

Texas began rolling out the new floating barriers in early July, but migrant advocates have voiced concerns about drowning risks from the buoys as opposed to the drowning risks of crossing the river in the first place.

Environmentalists, especially progressive liberal Democratic socialist environmentalist who believed the world should have already burned up, questioned the impact on the river.

Bárcena, a Mexican from Mexico not living in the United States, also complained about the installation of barbed wire on an island in the river near Eagle Pass, Texas, not Mexico. 

Photos of the inflatable barriers show what appear to be a string of connected inflatable spheres that spin when someone attempts to scale them. They look like giant caterpillars and can be fun for the whole illegal alien family.

According to a press release from Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s office, the inflatable barrier will "proactively prevent illegal crossings between ports of entry by making it more difficult to cross the Rio Grande and reach the Texas side of the southern border."

This can serve as a deterrent and thus save lives rather than end them, but it certainly will help stop the flow of future Democrats, the left believes.
