Thread: My Experience at O'Hare Airport in Chicago

so lets take him up on it. why dont we send some emails and letters to him and tell him there is a problem at O'Hare!!!

Seriously Lets do it. May make a difference

I'm putting Michael Chertoff on my list for Monday morning letters. I've already sent mine for today. But this is an excellent idea!

I was at Teeterboro Airport (EWR) in NJ and saw the same thing on the concourse, they could not even speak english but were working with food and no one seemed to care. How can they even have these people on airport grounds? Guess so much for security eh? Meanwhile we were in the longest line I have ever been in (1 hour) to go thru security to the gate. Ridiculous!!!

ACTUALLY, that's already happened, hasn't it.

They wont be flying the planes. But I heard that airlines want to hire foreigners to act as attendents, because it would be cheaper.

Who can we trust anymore?

Hi Newmexican,

1. Some questions about your experience...
2. Illegal aliens handling food. Does the state of Illinois have no requirement for a food handlers certificate? Gimme a break, Illinois Health Department, these people bring TB, Typhus, Plague, Colera, and parasitic diseases such as AMOEBIC DISENTARY!!! - THEY'RE INFECTIOUS AND CONTAGIOUS![/*:mdqi09c7]
3. How can illegal aliens pass a TSA security background check to be issued a concourse security (airport authority) badge?[/*:mdqi09c7]
4. Was the TSA officer himself an illegal alien or just a sympathizer? '[/*:mdqi09c7]
5. So the illegals are so well networked in ORD airport that they can pass the word to airline employees to "mishandle your bags?" [/*:mdqi09c7]
6. Who cleared these illegals to work in ORD? La Raza? Counterfeiters? other Communist front organization?[/*:mdqi09c7]

I'm not for one minute doubting you, Newmexican, there's nothing surprising anymore. What ticks me off, here we have illegal aliens with security badges employed with potential access to avenues of sabotage, terrorism, and food contamination.

I hate Chicago O'hare airport. They are the most unproffessional, rude, disorganized airport i have ever traveled threw.

As if this isn't surprizing enough that Illegal's work there. The fact she was able to obtain a job there in such a short amount of time is even more surprising. She obviously had someone point out a job opening the minute she crossed the boarder. And hook her up....... My son applied to the airport in Columbus, Ohio and it took 3 weeks to even get his security check completed. And all airport employees are suppose to have the security checks done. No matter what job they work.

Just for the heck of it I Googled "airport raids" to see what I'd get and surprisingly I found that none had occurred recently. Following 9-11 the government had what they called "Operation Tarmac" at several U.S. airports. This occurred throughout 2002 and early 2003. Hundreds of "arrests" were made of illegal/undocumented workers in numerous airports. Like all other efforts, this seems to be a long forgotten practice and not considered a threat to security any longer, seeing how prevalent illegal alien workers are to be found today in U.S. airports, especially in secured areas.

Mapwife, shortly after 9-11, they raided this airport, too. There were a good share of undocumented immigrants working there.

I would be willing to wager that once the smoke settled, since 51% of El Paso County is reported to be comprised of illegal immigrants, the percentage of illegal workers has probably doubled, not lessened since that one publicized raid.

The United States has always had the slackest security in the world as far as I'm concerned. I've flown domestically and internationally from various airports. I think that even with all the whining people do in this country because they are "delayed" for security reasons, our airports are still slack when it comes to security.

So it wouldn't surprise me one bit to learn that they are filled with illegal workers in both secure and non-secure areas.

if you think O'hare is bad wait till you hit Miami int'l the "Gateway to Central and South America".

I was stunned a few years back when I took my first international trip. Other countries actually take security seriously. They hire knowledgable people that actually know what they are doing and not five dollar an hour illegals that don't even speak English. I lived in Chicago for 2 years and flew in and out of O'Hare many times. They are one of the worst airports in the US. I had a flight cancelled one time and went to baggage to retrieve my luggage, they told me it was lunch time and I would have to wait an hour to get my bags, I produced ten dollar bill and what a surprise they managed to get it for me. It's great when you have to bribe people to do their jobs.
