And don't forget pilots, either:      Frontier Jet Breaks Washington Flight Ban -      April 2, 2002

A US passenger jet broke air security regulations and flew over the White House after leaving Washington's Reagan National Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration has confirmed.

The incident, which happened Monday and involved a Frontier Airlines Boeing 737, has been blamed on an error by the pilot.

The plane, en route to Denver, flew through airspace over central Washington which has been restricted and patrolled by military fighter aircraft since last year's terrorist attacks.

After being contacted by controllers the Frontier pilot acknowledged his navigational mistake but was allowed to continue the flight.

The FAA said Flight 819 missed a turning point shortly after take-off and was monitored by security agencies.

Hey, TF,,,,,,you gotta' admit...doesn't it feel good finally seeing these kinds of articles finally hitting the mainstream media?

After years of standing on soap boxes and screaming about the dangers of the illegal invasion, our warnings are finally vindicated.

Unfortunately we have a man in the White House who is loony on this issue.

Oh well,,,,Bushes are all one termers....

Hopefully the word will get around the illegal community that deportations are in the works for other workplaces too. Wishful thinking?

The stupidity of the federal government never ceases to amaze. Here it is April 23 and the are just getting around to arresting criminals at Dulles Airport where flight 77 originated from.

Since all immigrants have a choice on whether to immigrate legally or illegally, you have to question why they come illegally ----how many illegals could pass background checks?

The illegals have Govt. support in some areas. Like here in Massachusetts. Here is something that didn't get widely publicised. All part of the socialist agenda which needs people who need Govt. help. In Cambridge Mass. they tried to make it legal for illegals to vote in our elections.

Thank goodness Dukakis didn't get elected. He embodies all I dislike like about US citizens (not to be confused with Americans)who undermine our Republic with socialism.

Soon after the defeat of Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis in the 1988 presidential election, in which he ran on a platform that emphasized ethics in government, it was discovered that state welfare administrators had been secretly supplying illegal aliens with fraudulent Social Security numbers so that they could receive welfare benefits. It is illegal for agencies other than the Social Security Administration to supply Social Security numbers, and it is also illegal for government agents to fail to report known illegal aliens.
