Housing illegal migrants in America's airports?
American Thinker ^ | 8 Nov, 2023 | Monica Showalter

Illegals don't belong in airports, period. But Pete Buttigieg is offering them up for migrant housing anyway. What could go wrong?

Is there nothing of greater priority to this Biden administration than the care and feeding of illegally present foreign migrants?

It sure seems like it.

Witness this latest bat-brained scheme from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to house illegal aliens in America's airports.

According to Fox News:

Dozens of House Republicans, led by the head of the Transportation Committee, are calling on Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to stop migrants being housed at airports across the country, as the federal government scrambles to find ways to house illegal immigrants.

Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Sam Graves, House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik, Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Garret Graves and Representative Anthony D’Esposito, R-NY, along with 66 other House Republican lawmakers have written to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg opposing plans to house migrants at airports.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) made written to New York in August recommending 11 federal sites in New York and nearby where migrants could be housed in order to relieve pressure amid a massive migrant surge into the Empire State, including airports.

They wrote:

"We adamantly oppose these ill-conceived plans that blatantly ignore the true crisis at hand and would inappropriately utilize America’s infrastructure," the lawmakers say. "Our Nation’s airport infrastructure was built to facilitate commerce and transportation, not to serve as housing for unvetted and undocumented migrants. We request that you enforce public airport grant assurances and reject such plans."

The lawmakers say they are concerned about the "lack of regard" for security risks posed by housing migrants at airports and say that airports are generally required to request permission from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) before they’re used for nonaeronautical purposes.

Al Qaeda is saying “We want to stay at the airports”.

As if airports aren’t busy enough. Are they going to allow them to pitch tents and defecate all over the airport too?

Proof we have nothing but idiots running the joint.

Buttigieg cant reply to Republicans——he’s in the Ukraine


Biden’s Transport Secy Buttigieg met with Ukranian government
leaders to discuss the county’s economic recovery. He will discuss:
<><>efforts to “return Ukraine to economic self-sufficiency,”
<><>investments in transportation infrastructure to “return to private-sector led growth.”

This must be a joke. Buck a week Buttgeig couldnt get planes to land on time
here, so now he’s an “expert” for the money-grubbing Ukrainians?

Wonder how much this is going to cost taxpayers?

If you approached all of the top thirty airport managers in the US...they’d all flat-out say ‘NO’. Between security and sanitation standards...they’d base this.

Now, those tiny airports that Congressmen sponsor...that have no practical use (I can think of one in Penn alone)...those managers might wiggle up some deal for $1-million a week to house people in near-empty/non-use airport terminals.

Well, one positive thing is that the terrorists won’t have to hijack any more planes in order to murder a bunch of people.

I think they will be like Tribbles ( Remember Start Trek? ). Every nook and canny will have an illegal stuffed in it.

A few months ago I went through the San Fransicko airport. The lower level and baggage area was full of homeless in very comfortable laid out camps. I imagine the illegals will have quite a lucrative trade in stolen baggage. Even more so than Sam Brinton.

Yep, when they start the engines in the aircraft there will be chunks before the engine runs properly.

Kansas City has a new airport that would be perfect for housing the illegals. After all the new airport is gender neutral bathrooms.

Nice wide open concourses.
Right next to the airport is the overall base with lots of empty airplanes there for the taking. Just hop right in and recline in first class seats.

Talk about two tickets to paradise.
