What’s The Deal with Biden’s ‘Ghost Flights’ of Illegal Aliens?

CommentaryFebruary 7, 2022

By William Davis

Is the Biden administration quietly importing large numbers of illegal aliens through midnight flights?
That would be a reasonable conclusion based on recent reports about the Biden administration’s resettlement process. The White House is being accused of chartering flights for hundreds of “mostly minor-age” illegal aliens to Pennsylvania, according to a report.
The “ghost flights” allegedly took place over the course of three weeks during the month of September, and concluded shortly after the Christmas holiday. Flight tracking websites showed at least one flight from El Paso, Texas to Scranton, Pennsylvania on December 17. That flight was chartered by iAero Airways, which contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Jim Gallagher, president of Aviation Technologies Inc., the Scranton airport’s fixed-base operator, claimed that he observed mostly young, non-English speaking people exiting planes and leaving on busses at the Scranton airport.
The allegations garnered the attention of two of Pennsylvania’s top Republicans, Rep. Dan Meuser and former Rep. Lou Barletta, a candidate in the state’s upcoming gubernatorial election. Both Meuser and Barletta wrote letters to ICE Director Tae Johnson and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas ripping the administration’s handling of the border crisis, and demanding answers over the flights.
“This mismanagement is now directly impacting the people I represent, and I expect you will provide me the answers I need to address my constituents’ concerns,” Meuser wrote.
“Now we see evidence of more flights on Christmas night, and people want to know if illegal immigrants are being transported to our community, whether they’ve undergone background checks and health screenings, and why no one was notified that this was happening,” Barletta wrote.
Barletta later shared photos of what he claimed showed a flight full of illegal aliens at Lehigh Valley Airport in Allentown, Pennsylvania, while suggesting that the Biden administration shifted the flights from Scranton to Allentown following the initial backlash. Meuser has also accused the Biden administration of using funds intended to fight the COVID-19 pandemic to resettle illegal aliens into the U.S.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf denied that migrants were being resettled into his state. Wolf, a Democrat, claims that the migrants were simply passing through the state en route to their final destination, and accused Republicans of engaging in a “political <acronym title="Google Page Ranking"><acronym title="Google Page Ranking">PR</acronym></acronym> stunt.” However, this is not the first time the Biden administration has been accused of resettling illegal aliens into the U.S. through secretive, midnight flights.
Just last month, Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis accused the Biden administration of effectively running a “human smuggling operation” by sending planes full of illegal aliens into his state. DeSantis accused the administration of having sent 70 such flights to the state over a six-month period. DeSantis has earmarked $8 million in his proposed budget to ship illegal aliens coming into his state to Joe Biden’s home state of Delaware.
The Biden administration has not addressed any of the accusations emanating from elected officials in Florida and Pennsylvania, likely because their allies in the corporate media have not bothered to cover the accusations. However, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki previously acknowledged that the administration was flying planes full of illegal aliens to New York under cover of darkness. It seems likely, based on the White House’s pattern of behavior, that the accounts from officials in Florida and Pennsylvania are true.
The Biden administration has an established pattern of secrecy when it comes to its immigration policies, and it’s not just about the ghost flights. This month, it was reported that the Biden administration had been hiding the arrest records and terrorist ties of new arrivals. The White House has also withheld an annual report on the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportations. It was the first time in more than a decade that ICE failed to release an annual report, ending an era of bipartisan transparency on this subject.
Given Biden’s horrific approval ratings, it’s no surprise that his administration is dispersing illegal aliens throughout the U.S. in secret. But, we should all be grateful to local and state officials who work to bring the consequences of the administration’s anti-borders agenda into the light.

DeSantis Responds to Sheriff's Investigation Into Martha's Vineyard Migrant Flight: 'Give Me a Break'

By Matthew Holloway September 20, 2022 at 9:59am

Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis joined Fox News’ Sean Hannity during his Monday broadcast to respond to threats of criminal investigations against him for the State of Florida’s transport of 50 illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday. California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has called on the Biden administration’s Department of Justice to investigate DeSantis, while the Sheriff of Bexar County, Texas, Democrat Javier Salazar has also opened an investigation.
DeSantis was dismissive of the arguments against the move, telling Hannity’s audience, “Give me a break.”
Salazar characterized the move from DeSantis and the Republican-led Florida legislature as “[leaving migrants] to fend for themselves in Martha’s Vineyard,” as the Texas Sheriff’s department tweeted.

DeSantis however, presented a much different view of the move on Hannity. He described the transportation to Martha’s Vineyard as “voluntary” for the illegal immigrants, most of whom had traveled from Venezuela and reacted to the responses. “It’s only when 50 get put into Martha’s Vineyard, which wasn’t saying they didn’t want this. They said they wanted this. They said they were a sanctuary jurisdiction.”
He explained, “These were people who were basically destitute and then put in a situation where they could have succeeded, but that was all virtue signaling. And not only did they not welcome them, they deported them the next day with the National Guard. Give me a break.”

Initially, DeSantis had expressed his frustration at the response from Democrats, “Well, Sean, it’s really frustrating because you know, you’ve been covering this — millions of people, since Biden’s been president, illegally coming across the southern border. Did they freak out about that? No.
“You’ve had migrants die in the Rio Grande. You had 50 die in Texas, in a trailer because they were being neglected. Was there a freak out about that? No, there wasn’t,” he added, going on to describe the influx of criminal aliens pouring over the southern border into American cities.

“You’ve had criminal aliens get across that southern border and victimize Americans, killing some, raping some. Was there any type of outrage about that? No.”
DeSantis also made note of the ongoing epidemic of fentanyl deaths, linking them to the illegal smuggling of the lethal drug over the border with Mexico.

Contrary to the assertions of Newsom and Salazar that the illegal immigrants were essentially dropped at the Massachusetts vacation destination for America’s wealthiest figures, he told Hannity that the illegal immigrants who volunteered for transportation there were well cared for. Hannity alluded that they were “put up in hotels, given accommodations. They were fed. They were showered. They were offered haircuts and any of the services that they were needed.”

DeSantis was quick to add, “Yeah. Not only that. They all signed consent forms to go, and then the vendor that, that is doing this for Florida provided them with a packet that had a map of Martha’s Vineyard. It had the numbers for different services on Martha’s Vineyard, and then it had numbers for the overall agencies in Massachusetts that handle things involving immigration and refugees.”

He then cited the availability of jobs and accommodations on the island. “So it was clearly voluntary, and all the other nonsense you’re hearing is just not true. And why wouldn’t they want to go given where they were? They were in really, really bad shape, and they got to be cleaned up, everything treated well, and then put in a situation — because, Sean, there are jobs available in Martha’s Vineyard. There is lodging available in Martha’s Vineyard.”

DeSantis pointed out to Hannity’s audience that the illegal immigrants were brought to what was hailed a “sanctuary jurisdiction.” He told them, “Had they lived up to their — what they built themselves at as a sanctuary jurisdiction, they could have absorbed those people without a problem,” alluding to his earlier statement the island’s status was “all virtue signaling.”
DeSantis then posed a series of rhetorical questions that remain unanswered by the Biden administration. “But here’s the thing, they said they didn’t have housing, they said they couldn’t accommodate. Like let’s just say that’s true for a minute — well, what does that mean for these poor towns in Texas? What does it mean for these other places across the country that are seeing influx? What does it mean to these small towns that Biden has dumped so many people in?”
