Standing only room as DFW airport protests grow
WFAA.COM ^ | 29 JANUARY 2017 | WFAA.COM

Protesters started trickling into DFW International Airport's baggage claim Saturday afternoon after news broke of up to 50 people being detained by customs. First it was a few dozen family members of detained travelers waiting for answers. A few hours later the crowd swelled to hundreds.

"I think the most beautiful thing about the entire evening was it wasn't predominately Muslim," Mohammad Abdulhadi said. "There were Mexicans, priests, rabbis, men, women, everybody."

Abdulhadi came to the airport to support his friend who's parents were being detained. The parents are from Syria and traveled with visas but were turned away when they arrived in the country.

WAY too many Muslims in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. The imams can just whistle at their Friday prayers and get a mob together for their frequent grievance demonstrations. Remember “Clock Boy”? Their children are being trained to be a subversive group for the coming generations. How stupid of us to have accepted the first few hundred. They are always the tip of the spear for Islam.

Let’s not forget the San Bernardino shooter went back to the Middle East to pick up a wife with intent to kill Americans. We don’t know how many potential terrorists are already inside the USA. Why not give them a double check.

Then there was the PULSE Nightclub shooter. 50 dead. USA born of Afghan parents. Just what did they teach their son?

Indeed. But I’ve sworn off flying for good now. Retired and not going anywhere. I first flew in 1957, flying a Lockheed Tri-tailed Constellation to Okinawa (with several stops to Okinawa). I was flying ever since, DC-3s, C-54s,707s and after and what nots and a whole bunch of flying in C-141s, C-130s and even a couple of Navy DC-3 tail draggers. A lot and lot of miles

When I got out of college in early 1980, I traveled much, much more because of the job. I racked up a hell of a lot of air miles. It all was great until DHS and TSA came along and I vowed to never fly again if I could help it when I retired.

About the only place I would fly now is to Las Vegas, and that would have to be round trip, first class.

If we are going to rescue all of Western Civilization, a drone strike on Soros and his would be successors must be one of the first priorities.

A few thousand idiots are destroying so much of America. It will stop soon when the Patriots take over and smash heads. Police will not do it and it will be up to real Americans. Civil war on protesters is on it’s way.

OK, so a Mexican, a priest, and a rabbi walk into an airport...

Michael Moore sent out a message last night that I saw asking all of them to show up at airports.

I do not believe this group is paid at all.

I think any protester who is arrested should have any public assistance they are receiving taken away from them.....including student loans.

We are being told the problem with immigration is visa over stays and the wall won’t help and the wall is a stupid idea. Now Trump is taking care of the visa problem and we were told that that is unfair unjust and stupid.

For years America has not enforced her basic laws concerning the nation's security. The protesters are of a Socialist bent rather than a lawful country, i.e., let government take care of the problem of entering the country illegally....knowing the Bureaucrats will just push paper work around, never going to the trouble of enforcing law.

Trump is merely asking for the laws be enforced.....Hillary was for OPEN BORDERS and turning a blind eye to American security.

They are going to find out very soon what Chris Christie found out.

I haven't flown since September 2001 to my father's funeral. No more. Lots of great places I can drive to if I feel like traveling.

The more they protest the more I see someone in the midwest and the Rust Belt asking themselves how are all these clowns helping me to find work again and get back on my feet financially?

I'm one of those midwesterners watching all this crap with a jaundiced eye. I see a bunch of assholes demanding everyone else enable their particular hobbyhorses while I have watched my retirement plans whittled away, my purchasing power reduced, my core values belittled and my freedom of association, speech, and thought gaveled down.

Yeah, shouting, fist-waving, threatening and "community organizing" is going to get me into a reflective mood about how I should really embrace the "un-assimilate-able" who hate my guts.

Multi-culturalism does not work and we have let a lot of people who hate this country in. It’s only a matter of time, but President Trump has bought us time for the upcoming war.

Everything the left does is astro-turfed. The media just censors the fact.

If I had to cross-country, it would be by train, I think.

According to another thread this is highly organized and paid for by CAIR. Notice this is the first time Hitlery spoke out, of course. She knows who pays her bills.

This has been planned for awhile I’m sure. They knew what Trump was going to do. he will not bow to these extremists. They constantly are on display for who they are.
