Illegal Border Crosser Bought Property Where He Crossed – Now Allows Illegal Migrants To Enter U.S. Through It
In 1979, Ociel Mendoza illegally crossed the border.
Then, he bought the US side of the land where he crossed.
Now, he is letting illegal migrants use his property to enter the United States.
An immigrant who purchased the land where he crossed over into the U.S. illegally said he won’t stop other migrants from doing the same, BuzzFeed News reported Friday.
Ociel Mendoza illegally entered the U.S. when he was 18-years-old and looking for seasonal work on Texas ranches, according to BuzzFeed News. Mendoza bought the land where he illegally crossed into the country over 40 years earlier, and now allows other migrants looking for a better life to come through the area.
