When the Roman Empire fell due to invasion by the barbarians, the Roman citizens did not resist the invaders. Heck, the invaders looked like them, and by that time, the Roman citizens had no real interest in preserving their society.
They do not believe that we should have borders.
Yeah, I didn't catch that until after I hit the post button. No matter, She's still an idiot.
Yes, and this brings to mind the comment from Bin Laden or some other terrorist - "your airplanes will fall from the skies".
We all know that it would never happen here, not to us and our country. Bad things always happen to other people, never to us.
As for Peru, the Klinton administration with the help of Jimmy carter engineered the toppling of Fujimori, who managed to rout the Shining Path and keep the terrorists at bay in Peru.
MORE CLINTON LEGACY
If there's terrorist attacks by illegals working in America, blame the left for their political correctness laws. That's how they get here, plan here, and kill here.
Liberals believe they can be rehabilitated and become part of the collective, the colony of mind controled indoctrobot paracites living off the tax paying host as they are. It's a concept of one big utopian party.
Florida again....suprize, suprize!
"I feel sorry for the good people -- the good workers," the mechanic said. "They work for money. Everybody works for money and to put food on the table."
They were illegals you idiot...even if it turns out they DON'T have ties to Abu Sayef (unlikely)...if they are such "good people" why didn't they go through proper legal channels like "good people" WHO ARE HONEST do???
(And were those "mechanics licenses" valid or FORGED??)
WASHINGTON – In just the past two days, 14 Syrian men entered the U.S. through Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on student visas to attend flight schools at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport, WorldNetDaily has learned exclusively.
The State Department lists Syria as a state sponsor of terrorism.
The Syrian men, whose M-1 visas expire April 2002, flew in from London aboard two British Airways flights, with one group of seven arriving Sunday and the rest on Monday – the day before the Federal Aviation Administration lifted its post-attack ban on novice pilots flying private planes solo in airspace around major metropolitan areas.
"Seems that they knew the private plane ban was going to be lifted today," said an Immigration and Naturalization Service inspector at DFW.
After the second wave of Syrians deplaned, INS inspectors called the FBI, which asked inspectors to photocopy their passports and other papers, according to the INS source.
The men, all clean-shaven and in their mid-20s, were not detained, however, and the FBI did not interview them – although agents have recently questioned Middle Eastern students enrolled at Meacham field schools.
The Syrians told immigration inspectors they came here to train to be pilots for their country's national airline, and were enrolled at Delta-Qualiflight Aeronautics.
Delta is one of four Meacham field schools run by Middle Eastern men, airport records reviewed by WorldNetDaily show. There are eight schools in all.
Delta-Qualiflight Aeronautics, owned by Khaled Miloud, enrolls the largest share of Middle Eastern students, according to airport sources, who say Arabic is the main language spoken at the school. Miloud did not return phone calls.
The schools, using Meacham field's two runways and flight simulators, train students to fly primarily single and twin-engine aircraft.
The FBI would not comment on the Syrian students. But a spokeswoman for the bureau's Dallas office said agents have been "working very closely" with INS inspectors at DFW to monitor Middle Easterners coming into the U.S. on flight-school visas.
"We're getting thousands of leads here at the Dallas division, many of them concerning Middle Eastern individuals coming in and going to flight schools," Dallas FBI spokeswoman Lori Bailey told WorldNetDaily. "We have several flight schools in the Dallas-Fort Worth area."
INS inspectors at DFW have detained "numerous" Middle Easterners who are in violation of immigration laws, she said. But the FBI has not arrested any in connection with the PENTTBOM investigation of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
After the 9-11 hijackings, FBI agents tracked a suspicious Algerian man to another Meacham field flight school called American Flyers, WorldNetDaily has learned.
According to a spokesman for American Flyers, agents questioned the man at his Fort Worth-area apartment.
"He was very cooperative," he said, "and they gave him their blessing" to attend the school.
The American Flyers manager says that despite "some obvious bad apples," most of the Middle Eastern students who train at American flight schools are "all right."
"I get a lot of people asking me lately, 'Hey, how come you're still letting people from the Middle East train to fly at your school?'" he said. "But I tell them that before they ever get here, their applications are approved by the State Department."
Indeed, foreigners applying for a student visa have to fill out a federal application, called an I-20 form, and submit it to the American embassy in their country for approval. The form includes the name and address of the U.S. flight school.
"I don't know why the feds are surprised" by the number of Middle Easterners enrolled at U.S. flight schools, he said. "The information is available in advance. They know these guys' names and where they're enrolled long before they arrive here."
A State Department spokesman says the Bush administration has no plans to stop issuing visas to flight-school applicants from the Middle East.
"The Department of State has changed no laws and no regulations from what was in effect Sept. 10," spokesman Chris Lamora told WorldNetDaily.
Meanwhile, the Justice Department has not told the INS to turn back or detain Middle Easterners entering the U.S. with flight-school visas – not even those from countries that sponsor terrorism, such as Syria.
It seems more than a coincidence that company background checks started around the same time that the investigation started...
Indicates that security flags came up on certain individuals.
Homeland Defense has already gotten going. That's why these people are under arrest.
Not just Florida, but Spirit Airlines is based in Miramar, in Broward County. (Home of Jose Padilla, Mr. Hassoun of Benevolence Internatioanl Foundation/Al Quaeda links fame, the Muslim who was arrested last week for threatening to kill the President, and assorted other terrorists).
It was reported on Thursday that Spirit Airlines has asked for $60 million in federal loan guarantees as part of the $10 billion program set up to help airlines after Sept. 11.
I guess they need more money to hire illegals with links to Al Quaeda -- plenty of those in both Fort Worth and South Florida.
Have to wonder if some of these other fuel tank/rudder 'accidents' weren't tests of some sort.
