Migrants recently released by the Border Patrol waited patiently to board flights leaving the region at the Tucson International Airport.

    The issue is we are allowing illegal immigrants to travel unidentified using planes. That isn’t a privilege afforded to anyone else.

    We could be flying cartel members around the nation with no documents required.

    Except they have approved documents from the DHS that identify them. That is the entire point of the documentation they are required to carry.

    And a US citizen wouldn’t need those documents because they’re not migrants.

    I feel like there’s an unstated value judgement that I can’t quite identify here. What’s really the issue here? That they shouldn’t be transported?

      The issue is different standards. We are talking about airline safety. After 9/11 we created stricter standards and they’re being ignored for illegal migrants.

      I suspect it’s it’s the new because a bill has been sponsored to stop this behavior. Also since tsa Air Marshall’s are being diverted. It doesn’t make sense to increase the risk.
