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.

Kind of ironic that the effete elite upper class who fly the most and virtue signaled for open borders will now have their noses rubbed in it.
Just watch out for the illegal immigrants that want to leave to go to flight school before returning.
Don’t the effete elite upper class have spare bedrooms and high end kitchen cutlery that guests could use?
Clever!
Housing folks there, they can be moved all around by whim.
