A BAND OF 14 ILLEGAL ALIEN SYRIANS?!
By Michelle Malkin · July 23, 2004 01:47 AM
WNBC investigative reporter Scott Weinberger reported on Joe Scarborough's MSNBC show tonight that the 14 Syrians on Northwest Flight 327 ALL had expired visas. He said that law enforcement officials xeroxed the men's paperwork without looking at the dates. The visas had expired nearly a month earlier, according to Weinberger.

The Air Marshalls can't legally do much of anything until the terrorists make a move in flight. After pondering this story I have decided that this is definitely a case where vigilante action is required. If I am on a flight and I see one or more people acting suspiciously I wlll enlist as many other passengers as possible and pick a fight with the terrorists. If the terrorists are in the process of setting up a hijack, a fight will disrupt their plans. If it is just a scouting mission they will get their butts kicked. America's strength is our ability to innovate and adapt. The terrorists depend on us being friendly, hospitable, and vulnerable souls who never profile, prejudge, or preempt. Its time to change our behavior towards them. Its time to show them a different aspect of the American psyche. As for consequences I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
No way, not with 14 people, not if national security is at stake. Ever conducted surveillance? It's hard enough following one subject. But 14? They could go different directions in separate vehicles. 14 would scatterer all over a hotel or club. It would be a nightmare and way to risky.
Bump that!
More the reason to return this function to private industry, with a huge bonus for nabbing foreigners whose papers are not in order. As it is, it's just a matter of process and process quickly.
I have already told my wife there will be no traveling after 9/05

Look, if 14 Middle Eastern guys are, in fact, taking items to the bathroom in succession, someone should at least get up and inspect the john. Otherwise, the "move" that the Air Marshalls will be responding to is "KABOOM"!
I tend to agree. The feds have turned our borders in to a national security time bomb, while shaking down 80 year old white men in wheel chairs at our airports while large groups of diaperheads from Syria, in our country ILLEGALLY fly on our commercial aircraft
Enough!
I predict in the future, you're going to see passengers on flights telling diaperheads to remain seated or get your ass stomped, while four or five passengers stand around the seated subject until the damn plane lands..
Way to go, Michelle!!
There has been a lot said about congress critters getting involved. pfffft, look what happened to Tancredo... got sent to the woodshed for a scolding. They may not know "what to do"--- but here is a HINT for them: check their visas, check their orgin, and grow a set of balls.
And kissing foreign butt and being politically correct was not even considered....
It's reports such as this that make the Bush Administration look like garbage for not closing the borders. They'll look even worse if we have another terrorist attack inside CONUS.
That's when the citizens should take over security, after the government said we are doing a good job and another attack happens.
Just burn the mosques to the ground and tell the Muslims their homes will be next.
Exactly. 14 syrian "musicians" flying on one-way tickets for a 2 day casino gig from Damascus to Detroit to LAX with expired visas. Who let them board the flight in Damascus? They should have been turned away at check-in. All 14 of them.
But all immigrants have expired visas before their status changes. My fiancee came in on a K-1 visa. We married and started to move mountains of further paperwork (much of the same stuff as the visa application process). Her visa long ago expired and all we have to show is a case number on a letter but the change of status may take many more months because the U.S. bureacracy moves slower than Honduran bureaucracies. My wife is....Christian, Ukranian, blue-eyed, former Lenin Pioneer, and naturally she must get dragged through ever more forms and med exams while we accept almost one million ILLEGAL aliens per year.
This is a disgrace, plain and simple.
Who indeed!
Maybe when the next attack occurs some of these died in the wool Freepers will get their blinders blown off so they can see what is happening.
Stay Aware!
Does our government want to see us destroyed? How could one conclude anything else when the facts are examined?
