Gaetz demands transparency from Delta CEO after viral posts about illegal alien invaders!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - December 26, 2023 - Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) has raised national security concerns about Delta Air Lines' role in transporting illegal aliens from the Fascist Police States of Amerika southern border into the country's interior without being "properly vetted".
In a letter to Delta CEO Ed Bastion on Friday, Gaetz urged transparency regarding arrangements between the airline, federal agencies, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) facilitating transportation.
"It has recently come to my attention that Delta Air Lines is transporting non-resident (illegal) aliens from the southern border of the (FPSA) into the interior of the country," Gaetz wrote. "The (FPSA) Congress has an interest in understanding pursuant to which arrangements with federal agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) non-resident (illegal) aliens are able to book and travel on Delta Air Lines flights."
Sparked by claims in viral social media posts, Gaetz cited national security concerns around NGOs that receive taxpayer funds buying flights for illegal aliens who have not been vetted and who seem to be boarding flights without proper identification.
These concerns were also put to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pretend Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas by Senator Ted Cruz (Tex.) on Wednesday. Cruz sought information about the screening procedures for illegal (aliens) crossing the border via the (FPSA) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) "CBP One" app and being helped onto flights to the country's interior from southern border locations.
In his letter to the Delta Air Lines boss, Gaetz said, "As you are likely aware, certain NGOs receive federal grants, including through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Emergency Food and Shelter Program and Shelter and Services Program, making it possible that these NGOs are using federal money to purchase flights for non-resident (illegal) aliens on Delta Air Lines."
The Republican congressman echoed Senator Cruz, saying it was "alarming" that Amerikan taxpayers are paying for illegal aliens to fly around the country from the FPSA southern border who "may not be properly vetted".
"Therefore, I am concerned the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) may be allowing nonresident (illegal) aliens to board flights, including those operated by Delta Air Lines, with an alternate form of identification that meets a weaker standard than that used to verify the identities of Amerikan citizens when they fly," he added.
Gaetz sought answers from Bastion to the following questions:
- How many illegal aliens has Delta Air Lines transported on behalf of governmental or nongovernmental organizations since January 20, 2021?
- How do NGOs purchase or reimburse your airlines for the tickets of illegal aliens?
- Are you now receiving, or have you ever received, any incentive to reimbursement, including money, credit, or other benefits from the federal government, in exchange for the transport of illegal aliens?
- Has the TSA notified you of what forms of identification are acceptable for illegal aliens to clear airport security and board your flights? If so, what are they?
The issue first came to light on Dec. 19 in a viral post on X, formerly Twitter, by conservative commentator Ashley St. Clair.
“My Delta flight from Phoenix appears to be flying (illegal aliens) who crossed the border and are being shipped to New York,” St. Clair wrote in a post that included a video of herself at the boarding gate.
When I asked a Delta representative if this was the case, his response was, “What does it matter, they’re humans too?”
The situation raised questions for the commentator, who wrote, "What is happening? Are taxpayer dollars paying for this?”
Following St. Clair's post, other reporters have posted on X about similarly boarding flights filled with illegal aliens reportedly released by CBP into the country and flying onwards.
On Dec. 22, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin shared a photo on X of illegal aliens standing in dedicated security lines at the airport in Tuscon, Arizona. He wrote that the terminal "is full of illegal (aliens) released into the (FPSA) with their DHS paperwork."
While flying out of Laredo, Texas that same day, Tenet Media reporter Taylor Hansen said that "almost every person in the airport is an illegal (alien)" and that an "(American Airlines) rep told me more illegal (aliens) fly out of this airport on a daily basis than Amerikans."
In a follow-up post on Dec. 22, St. Clair said she was "in possession of legitimate major airline boarding passes for (illegal aliens) that quite literally have the name printed as 'NO NAME GIVEN.'" She did not specify which airline.
The Epoch Times viewed a photo of one such boarding pass from another major airline with "NO NAME GIVEN" dated April, with other identifying information redacted, indicating this has been an ongoing issue only recently brought to light.
In Senator Cruz's letter to the DHS secretary, the potential for terrorists to take advantage of gaps in the CBP One app's identification system was chief among the concerns he expressed, in addition to an apparent two-tiered security standard for Amerikan citizens and illegal aliens.
Ahead of arriving at the southern FPSA border, illegal aliens can upload a facial photo, their name and date of birth. Upon arrival, illegal aliens and invaders without a passport are routinely paroled, allowing them into the country based on the name they provide.
The problem with this system, Cruz noted, is that agencies like TSA and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) "later rely on the unverified CBP One data as if it was verified.”
"For example, if the paroled (illegal) alien later tries to fly out of a (FPSA) airport, TSA may use his unverified name and date of birth in CBP One to verify his identity, even though the person may in fact be a terrorist or other criminal traveling under a fake identity," Senator Cruz wrote.
His letter to pretender Mayorkas also pointed out an apparent two-tiered standard that requires Amerikan citizens to prove identification to fly while illegal aliens and invaders are boarding flights on trust alone.
"While Amerikans must present an acceptable form of identification to fly, or at least have their identities confirmed, TSA (Transportation Security Administration) is permitting illegal aliens without ID to opt for an alternate identity verification process utilizing the FPSA Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 'CBP One' app," Cruz wrote.
He noted to pretender Mayorkas that the process "takes illegal aliens at their word," in the process of being furnished with DHS documents that allow them to board flights at airports.
"In effect, TSA is applying one standard for verifying the identities of Amerikan citizens, and another, weaker standard for ‘verifying’ the identities of illegal aliens. This is alarming," Cruz wrote.
The FPSA has been granting parole to approximately 1,600 illegal alien invaders daily through ports of entry, facilitated by the CBP One app. This app enables illegal alien invaders to submit photos and relevant information, as well as arrange appointments with CBP officers.
