If you go on a vacation, squatters can now take your home

And the police won't do anything about it because it's a 'civil' matter. :thumbsdown:

Reading this article makes me really angry. The white family relocated to a different place temporarily for work. When they came back they found some illegal Mexicans had taken their house. The illegal Mexicans took over this white family's home through fraudulent paperwork claiming they bought the house for $5000🙄. The law is actually protecting the illegal Mexicans more than the actual people who owns the house.😡

Even if you are on a 2 or 3 week vacation, it seems like squatters can just come by and claim your house. If you are a home owner what can you do to prevent this from happening?
 
Sounds like the fraud committing real estate agent is the one to blame here.
Don't remember the particulars but crooks were forging quit claim deeds to take land/timber some years back. I assume the laws have changed. But since this is SC..........if a car is more than 7 years old, it can be taken to the scarp metal shop without a title.😵 Steal it, scrap it, profit.()🙂
 
But if you are caught in a legal battle and you are found to be illegal, aren't you automatically deported?

Unless of course you are in CA or MA
Sorry, Desi. I was being a bit of a smart ass. In a normal world, I'd say yes. But what's normal about the US anymore?🙁
 
wait a minute, if they are illegal immigrants, cant they get them deported?

illegals have more rights than middle classed citizens now. in fact middle classed citizens are now 2nd class citizens.

illegals even want a free ride through college and stupid college students who are paying out of their butts for tuition are on their side.
 
If you read the article carefully... the original home owners have not paid their mortgage for a year and $20,000 behind in payments... Technically the bank owns the rights to your home until you completely paid off your home loan... for all we know the bank forclosed on them while they were gone and put it up for sale or wrote it off - so anyone willing to pick up and pay the property taxes on it may lay claim to it...
 
LMAO

The occupiers got a restraining order against the home owners? WTF?!?!?!?

What moron approved that????

The home owners should be allowed to enter their home and forcefully evict the squatters. How the fuck our laws can be so screwed up to allow anything but this is lunacy.
 
You can buy a gun.

Apologies, it certainly does not prevent it. However, it WILL resolve it.

in CA

1. illegals take over you house
2. you can't make them leave
3. you shoot and kill them
4. you go to prison
5. the next illegal will come by and take your house but you can't shoot them because you are already in prison.
 
Maybe the bigots in this thread should take a powder. No where does the article state the nationality of the squatters. As most Spanish surnamed folks in the U.S. are U.S. citizens the default assumption aught to be "they are citizens" not "them's illegals". Seriously, the bigotry displayed here is disgusting.
