The social media post was uncovered by the American Accountability Foundation (AAF), which investigates Spanish-language social media posts targeting immigrants.
“Osorio uses his TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram channels to post video content, most of which is conversations with illegal immigrants, where he tells viewers how much money they make. “We want them to tell us how they came to the U.S. and how great it is to enter the U.S. illegally and settle there,” the AAF said.
The group found that Osorio began uploading videos and other social media posts to encourage immigration in July, posting dozens of messages on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. did.
The videos also included a person claiming to be an illegal immigrant from Honduras telling viewers he was now running his own restaurant in the United States.
“The American Dream is alive and well. This is the story of a Honduran immigrant who entered the United States illegally nearly 20 years ago. Through hard work and dedication, he has now achieved an expansion that brings him more than $1 million in sales. I am now the owner of a restaurant,” the Instagram message reads.

One video tells the story of a man from Honduras who worked in the United States and earned enough money to build a home in his home country, showing that many of these new immigrants have no interest in becoming integral members of American culture. It emphasizes that. The immigrant also said he plans to return there and take back all the US dollars he earned.
This is a big problem with Biden's wave of illegal activity at the border. A practice known as “remittances” is when immigrants come to the United States, get jobs there, but send most of their income back to their home country rather than spending or investing it in the United States. When they return home, they often abandon the United States and return to where they belong.
In 2023, the amount of money sent by immigrants to their families in their home countries increased by 0.7%, increasing the amount of money sent abroad by an incredible $656 billion. That's billions of dollars that will never benefit the American people.

This is many times more than the US government spends on foreign aid. For example, in 2023 the federal government sent out Financial aid to other countries totals $61 billion, but this number dwarfs the remittances sent by migrants.
Osorio further encourages this behavior by enticing more illegal aliens to come to the United States.
“Wilson Osorio embodies the epidemic of unelected radical leftist bureaucrats who are turning this country upside down,” said AAF President Thomas Jones. “While receiving a taxpayer-funded salary, Mr. Osorio is pushing radical open border policies that endanger the safety, stability, and livelihoods of millions of Americans. This is a betrayal. He must be fired immediately.”
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, was similarly appalled, calling Osorio's actions and the Biden border crisis a “gross violation of the public's trust.”
“Unfortunately, this comes as no surprise to the Biden-Harris administration and Mayorkas' Department of Homeland Security, which has spent four years destroying America's borders and attracting illegal aliens, including thousands of violent criminals, to our country. “We've been trying to do that,” Lee told Fox News.
After news broke about Osorio's social media activity, he locked down or deleted his social media and LinkedIn pages. And the Department of Homeland Security has not made any statement on the matter.
