He was on the “no fly” list. What did they not understand?
After all these years of never getting a message, the border guy gets message, now gets another message. We’re series! Especially since MSM has taken such a hugh interest, probably because there was an airplane involved at some point.
If the guy had a Hispanic surname, and no identification, the border agent would still be on the job. Probably get a bonus.
Doctors hope also to determine where he contracted the disease, which has been found around the world and exists in pockets in Russia and Asia.
I would like to know the answer to this.
It’s one thing to not have safeguards in place. That can be fixed. It’s another thing to have them but allow a culture that says that procedures do not need to be followed if it’s “really busy”.
I don’t get it. Hundreds of thousands of individuals cross our southern “border” illegally every year and we haven’t a clue who they are or what horrible disease they may be infected with. It doesn’t seem to bother Bush particularly or the CDC. Why the big fuss over one guy? All of a sudden they’re concerned? Don’t make me laugh!
I think Andy is gonna see up close and personal the other side of the litigation process now that the other plane passengers and crew now know who he is.
The only thing that this guy could have done to ingratiate himself to his chain of command more would have been to help an illegal alien carry a nuclear weapon across the border. Chertoff will be promoting him and Boosh will be inviting him to the State of the Union Speech next January.
The guy couldn’t have done more for his future by winning on American Idol.
He will be kept in a special unit with a ventilation system to prevent the escape of germs. "He may not leave that room much for several weeks," hospital spokesman William Allstetter said....Speaker's father-in-law has worked at the CDC for 32 years and is in the Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, where he works with TB and other organisms. He has co-authored papers on diabetes, TB and other infectious diseases. ...
That personal injury lawyer should spend his time in quarantine looking up defenses for his own conduct.
I suppose the fact that this guy even encountered a border agent at all during his crossing shows some progress.
Why are we not hearing about the new wife?
I assume he kissed her?
“Speaker’s father-in-law has worked at the CDC for 32 years and is in the Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, where he works with TB and other organisms”
Anyone that thinks this is just a coincidence has been smoking too much funny smelling stuff.
Well, that pretty much says alot about our Customs Border Protection officers under Chertnoff's command. It actually happens more often than the media reports. CBP, USCIS, BP, and ICE are hampered by absurd restrictions from the top.
The DEPARTMENT of HOMELAND SECURITY (DHS) should be dis-mantled yesterday. The original intent was to bring together all the various "security" agencies. They left out the FBI and CIA, and have accessed billions of dollars for the purpose of searching old ladies with walkers in airports.
However, I will give kudos to the FBI for locating and arresting numerous Islamo-facists in the states over the last years according to numerous media reports. Still, they can do better. Time to discriminate.
Oops, is that a bad word? Sorry to inform the liberal whiners, but everyone, including them, discriminate in all aspects of their lives every day in how they pick their produce, what gas station they use, what beer they drink, which highway they use to work, what TV show to watch, etc. Individuals discriminate - that's life.
I wonder if the border guard got some money from the lawyer during the minute he was making a decision.
Is this not considered "assault" in our courts, whether it was "simple" TB or XDR TB?
