The squatter hunter who is dealing with their eviction expressed concerns about the potential consequences of migrants becoming aware of lenient housing laws across states, envisioning a scenario where squatting becomes unmanageable.
Flash Shelton, the founder of the United Handyman Association and SquatterHunters.com, highlighted the potential challenges posed by the influx of migrants seeking accommodation in the U.S. He emphasized that if migrants discover the leniency of certain states’ laws regarding squatters’ rights, it could exacerbate the existing squatting problem.
Across the country, squatters and tenants’ rights laws vary, with some states offering protection to individuals who do not pay rent, allowing them to occupy properties for extended periods. In areas where legal complexities prevent law enforcement from taking immediate action, homeowners face limited options to reclaim their properties, often resorting to lengthy civil cases.
Shelton has been an advocate for legislative reforms aimed at curbing squatting and has expressed concern that the situation could worsen significantly with the increasing number of migrants entering the country, particularly through the southern border.
He raised questions about the potential consequences of a large-scale squatting crisis, emphasizing the mental, financial, and physical toll it could have on affected homeowners. Shelton urged for a pragmatic approach to address the issue, focusing on the broader impact on communities and society.
Statistics from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) indicate a significant influx of migrants into the U.S. since 2021, with Texas alone sending over 100,000 migrants to major cities in other states since 2022. The migration crisis caused by Biden and his administration is causing great damage to the US budget. The financial burden associated with housing migrants has been considerable, with cities like New York City allocating substantial funds to address related expenses.
Shelton’s advocacy stems from personal experience, having dealt with squatters firsthand in 2019 when two individuals took over his mother’s property. Despite challenges with local law enforcement, he successfully navigated legal loopholes to remove the squatters, prompting him to provide similar services to others facing similar issues.
In conclusion, Shelton’s concerns highlight the need for proactive measures and legislative reforms to address squatting challenges, particularly in the context of increasing migration into the U.S. Failure to act may result in further exacerbation of the issue, potentially leading to long-term consequences for affected communities and homeowners. However, Biden doesn’t seem to be worried about solving this problem. The squatting epidemic is growing due to Biden’s negligence, making America unsafe.
