US Rep. Dan Meuser (PA-9), who represents Schuylkill County in Congress, addressed the issue of so-called “ghost flights” on a recent appearance on Fox News.
“This message is very important. The American people need to know the details of the tragic situation the Biden administration has created,” Meuser says.
These “ghost flights” allegedly carry illegal immigrants presumably being held at detainment facilities near the US-Mexico border have been arriving at airports in several US states.
Meuser says he was informed by airport employees that some of these ghost flights have arrived at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport in Avoca. The last of the flights apparently happened on Christmas night.
“If they’re so proud of how they handle the border and how they’re handling children in such a compassionate way, why isn’t Jen Psaki and others talking about it? Riddle me that,” Meuser says, appearing from Palm Beach, FL, where he’s clearly working on his tan. “We have flights coming into Wilkes-Barre in the middle of the night, just as that occurred in Florida and other places. There were two flights that came in on Christmas evening.”
In a previous report, it was confirmed these flights often contain unaccompanied minors.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf finally addressed this issue late last year but said that the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton airport wasn’t the flight’s final destination, merely a “transfer” point, as if that makes it any better.
Meuser wonders if politics is behind the migrant flights ending up in states like Pennsylvania and Florida.
“That gets to the end game here,” he says. “Why such an upside down, backwards, senseless, illogical policy would be in effect now for the last 11 months that is a disaster for all, for the American people and the poor people who are part of this.”
Meuser believes drug cartels are responsible for bringing people across the border, including the unaccompanied minors.
He says he’s sent a letter to the Health and Human Services Dept. asking for transparency regarding this policy and ghost flights.

The bigger picture regarding Ghost flights is that dropping unaccompanied children makes it ripe for child trafficking as has been going on! Can’t we summon the border officials to intercept these flights and do investigations as to criminal records, health status, drug trafficking, etc?

The Democrat crime cartel regime cares not about any investigation, criminal records or health status…it’s a crime syndicate money racket, funded, in part, by your tax dollars, international oligarchy AND religious organizations like the Catholic charities…it runs deep, follow the money…
…on top of that, these mostly illiterate and disease ridden “trafficked” aliens, get free money, free healthcare, free phones, places to live (including your local hotels and motels) and go to the front of every line there is, while crime abounds with little or no consequences for lawless behavior…they don’t have to get tested for Covid either.

That’s a new language we just invented. It means, “You don’t make any sense.”
