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.
It was beyond disturbing when I heard the lyrics of their song.
I mean, if we want to remain open to $1 trillion hits, by all means, ignore the origins of the people who board the airplanes - except, look in their shoes, wand their persons, and x-ray their carry-ons, prohibit nail clips, etc. - but don't bother to find out whether or not they are illegal aliens or person's of concern to the FBI or CIA - let them on board!
It certainly seems to be begging for an encore performance. Perhaps the reinforced cockpit doors will prevent future takeovers - but maybe there is a way around such devices - like did they install heads in the cockpits? Duh?
Domestically, one needs to present picture ID to board, don't they? If so, aren't there any regulations regarding authenticating the ID one presents to board an aircraft? Or would this measure be just as annoying and useless at the "Did you let anyone else pack your luggage?" type of question?
One can only hope! I'm afraid that the ones affected by the breach would be the most disturbed, but dead. For the most part other Americans would be saddened, but go back to their soaps and lies of the democraps and hollywierd creeps.
Thanks for the info.
If you have it in some article on the web, I think you should post it as a separate post, then reference the previous thread on the subject.
Coming up, I'll ping you. If you can have some links ready, that would be great.
Look, if we all had to carry citizenship papers (and most people on this board think that would be awful) we could look at your papers and see if you were a citizen, a legal alien or an illegal alien (except for forgeries, of course, but we could argue about how good a job we can do of preventing that). Otherwise, how is the airline boarding procedure supposed to screen out illegal aliens, who may look exactly like legal aliens or citizens whose families have been here for 400 years? As for "persons of concern to the CIA," I do understand that the passenger manifests are run against a "watch list" that may or may not, or course, have what ever name a person is using now.
Thank you for the info...I do find it VERY interesting. Please keep me posted on related matters...
You bet, no problem.
No ocean, moat of flaming oil or wall can do any good when there is an indifferent central government more preoccupied with world perception than the safety and well being of its citizens.
I have noticed that no "public official" elected, appointed or hired seems in the slightest interested in trying to explain why things are the way they are; other than the imcomprehensible, "there are too many now to deport", while allowing thousands of additional criminals to continue streaming in...
