Immigration Wasn’t an Issue in Argentina. Until It Became One - NYT

[Betsy Ross]

What went in in Minnesota was an eye opener. It is scary to see the Governor and everyone in on it. It's all one big grift. I got excited when Elon Musk was going to expose it all but the forces of corruption are too powerful and he had to back off.

This kind of scam is happening in each state. Look at California.

I can't imagine what would happen if Harris and Waltz won. We would be in some serious problems.

My sister and her husband live in Santa Barbara, CA and they say the fraud in California is much much worse. They had a program for billions to fight homeless and they can't find the money.

I was against Biden/Harris flying in illegals by the plane fulls.

Only partially true.

What the Biden‑Harris administration actually did​

• The Biden administration had a humanitarian parole program that allowed up to 30,000 people per month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to apply online, secure a financial sponsor, and then fly themselves on commercial flights to designated U.S. airports.
• These entrants are vetted to some degree (background checks, biometrics, etc.), and they are not “random” or “secret” flights; the program is publicly described in DHS and federal‑register materials.

Where the comment is misleading​

• The phrase “flying in illegals by the plane full” suggests:
  • The government itself is chartering planes and dumping large numbers of “illegal” migrants anywhere in the country, which is not accurate.
  • That these people are uniformly “illegal”: in fact, many are admitted under lawful parole authority (temporary legal status), though they may still be noncitizens facing immigration proceedings.
• The policy is not new: U.S. agencies have for years moved migrants around by air, including under prior administrations, and sometimes even paid for or helped arrange transport.

Bottom‑line fact‑check​

• True: The Biden‑Harris administration expanded a program that brings tens of thousands of migrants from four countries into the U.S. via commercial flights, with some government facilitation.
• False or misleading: The implication that “illegals” are being secretly or illegally flown in by the plane‑load, with no rules or vetting, does not match how the program actually works.

Totally wrong. They were bringing in people by the bus loads daily. I've seen videos from friends. I've been on flights where I saw it and the flight attendants just commented it was daily and they can't do anything about it.

The USA has no business in flying in all of these people when they can't even balance its own budget. I can't believe anyone even on the Left would try to justify these tactics. It's the reason why Harris lost.

Jerry,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news for you but I saw it over and over throughout the year. You don't really trust the government do you?

I live in San Diego and I do a lot of business in Mexico so I'd cross the border back and forth. It's true they were bussing in daily massive amounts of migrants. I fly out of San Diego airport all the time for work and it was chock full of people Biden was bussing over and then they were flying them all over to the sanctuary cities. Many times on red eye flights so people didn't post about it but I flew to Ohare plenty of times on the red eye flights and it was just full of illegal migrants.

Some even with barely any shoes. On one flight with my wife she was scared that our stuff would get stolen. And in fact, I was missing my AirPods and we told the flight attendant and "she said oh boy not again". We ended up finding it but she said that there were issues many flights with stuff missing.

I don't know how anyone can defend bringing all of these illegal migrants into the USA when we can't even take care of our own citizens.

Of course we can agree to disagree but I saw it first hand. I also went to NYC several times and it was a mess with them bringing in tons there too and putting them up in 4 star hotels. Just chaos and why Biden had to lose.

Exactly what I saw too. And I'm from NYT. It was a disaster zone there. Finally starting to clean it up.

I saw that too. It was in the WSJ.

Well not sure how much I believe that. He is saying ICE agents will take over TSA which might not be a bad idea. Kill 2 birds with one stone.
