He is an ILLEGAL ALIEN.

The politically correct term is "undocumented democrat."

on tv he said he is “not illegal because humans are not illegal”. He is dissembling because his ACTIONS made him illegal.

If he was a fetus he would simply be unwanted. We should just call deportations late term border abortions and the left would call it a sacrament.

Am I reading this wrong, or was he trying to fly OUT of the U.S.?

If that was the case, why didn’t they just let him go and refuse him re-entry?

Too bad he is forced to live in the shadows in the media and on t.v. every day.

Captain Obvious called and told me this is a staged event.

He was flying to Los Angeles.

Arguably, California is in the U.S. (although many of us here in Texas have our doubts).

Why do his employers get a free pass?

Big RAT donors and backers, maybe?

he knew he would be stopped, he will not become a “face” martyr for the illegal aliens. This will be CNN’s new Malaysian flight.
