BIDEN ADMIN MIGRANT FLIGHTS CONTINUE UNABATED- JUNE 2022 UPDATE
One of the challenges in putting data together this way is that the airlines hired by the Biden Admin for these migrant flights to cities throughout the US are not forthcoming with data. And as we have seen too many times, the Biden Admin continues to use smaller regional airports to hide their true intentions. In addition, the airlines are adding planes, removing planes, changing Registration numbers and more which makes tabulating flight data all the more challenging.
Add to that when we see new airlines being used, it only adds to the confusion. Many times I try to follow planes that land at a particular airport to determine if passengers are being “handed off” to be flown somewhere (like a typical “connecting flight” when you fly commercial). Adding another airline and all its planes increases the potential for flights and patterns to be missed. This article does not have any specific “Aha!” moments but hopefully continues to shed light on the ongoing travesty that is occurring with illegal immigrants into the US. I will touch on a variety of subjects:
A NEW AIRLINE - GLOBALX:
As Luke Rosiak, investigative reporter for the Daily Wire reported on June 21, 2022, the Biden Admin has started using an additional airline in moving migrants around the country. GlobalX Airline, using only 6 of its fleet of planes, has flown over 850 flights since April of this year, along the same routes as the other “migrant flight” carriers (iAero, World Atlantic et al). It is difficult to know how many flights they may have flown previous to then as they don’t release any of this information willingly.
As with the other airlines I am ignoring flights that are most likely the “traditional” charter routes (Amsterdam to Greece or Cancun to Quebec City). But even removing these we see many flights that follow all the same paths- from the “Border” cities of Yuma, AZ, El Paso, TX, Alexandria, LA etc. As with others the single largest number of flights is from Miami to Cuba- 89 Flights (but more about a significant change occurring there below).
GlobalX has even been part of the flights to Westchester, NY which continue unabated. These flights, often late at night to hide them from the public’s view has been discussed extensively by Miranda Devine of the NY Post HERE, HERE and HERE. (And these are just her stories since April this year on the subject!)
Suffice to say I will continue to watch this airline and document its flights. As I keep updating and checking the planes for the other airlines as well (total 88 planes currently).
WHAT’S GOING ON IN CUBA?
I wrote in a prior article how the Biden Admin is deporting large numbers of Cubans while flying other immigrants within the US. One strange thing has occurred since the beginning of June this year however- flights are now going to other cities within Cuba. Why the sudden shift? Is something else going on?
What is also odd (and is not borne out by the flight information) is the claim by the Biden Administration that most Cuban migrants cross the border with America by land at the Mexican border. Also at odds is the Cuban report claiming that 855 Cuban migrants were sent back to Cuba from the US. The report stated 1,255 total, of which 855 were from the US. The Cuban Government released the report on November 24, 2021. This would appear to be at odds with the 120 flights from the US to Havana in the July through November time period that I have documented (unless the Biden Admin is flying planes with 7 passengers which appears unlikely). The Biden Administration is also claiming that they are letting the majority of Cubans stay in the US but is turning away “the vast majority of individual adults arriving from Central America and Mexico.” Anyone paying attention to this debacle recognizes this just doesn’t pass the smell test. The question is why? What else are they hiding?
NEW AIRPORTS BEING USED IN THE US
As previously discussed, the Biden Administration often flies to more remote, less visible airports when ferrying migrants throughout the US. Less passenger traffic means fewer people likely to witness a stream of illegals from a South American country being put on a bus and delivered to your city or town. This is why so many flights arrive late at night as well as discussed previously and documented by Miranda Devine in her reporting.
Since June 1, 2022 these flights have now gone to the following airports where in the prior 11 months they were not used once. Is this a sign of more flights to go to these locations? Is this being done because other airports in these states have garnered too much attention? Possibly. We certainly saw that occur in PA when news reports covered flights into Lehigh and other regional airports. The flights to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton garnered significant press attention after which the Biden flights suddenly shifted to Bradford Regional (KBFD) about 250 miles away. I covered this in my piece about Pennsylvania flights. This is not a mistake, this is by design. Are these airports being suddenly used because other airports were suddenly gaining attention of the press? It is certainly possible.
The new cities used in June of this year are:
Will any of these airports start to be used more? We will see, but I am constantly amazed at how many small out of the way airports get used in this program. As part of this program 330 airports in the US have been used.
“BORDER” AIRPORT ACTIVITY
The continued influx of illegals across the border are reflected in the larger numbers of flights moving them around the country (and some being returned to their home countries). The increases have been seen in the same areas covered by the Press documenting the influx of illegals across the border. (I include the data for Florida and Alexandria, LA as so many flights leaving the Border cities go through cities in those locations on their way to other cities both in the US and foreign).
Will this continue in July? It is too early to tell but the press reports suggest it is only increasing at the border so my expectation is we will see it reflected in the numbers of flights.
WHAT STATES ARE RECEIVING MIGRANT FLIGHTS?
The most important question in all of this is where is the Biden Administration depositing these migrants? It is not always easy to determine given the games the Biden Admin plays with flights. In addition, Miranda Devine has documented since her first stories on this issue that the Biden Admin busses their illegal immigrants to many places after getting off a plane, often to other states.
This table reflects the flights between states and the changes we are seeing in numbers for June versus the prior 11-1/2 months. Given the constant stream of border crossers it is not surprising we see increases in Texas, Louisiana and Florida. While Arizona has seen a drop it is due to fewer flights from Laughlin/Bullhead and Phoenix. Both Yuma and Tucson had increases in June as would be expected given where border crossers are entering the US.
What is interesting to notice is the drop-offs in some states where migrant flights have been publicized- Ohio and Pennsylvania have seen decreases in flights. Is this because there are more difficult political races coming and the Biden Admin has received some pressure from Democrats to slow the flights to their states? It is interesting that the state that has had the largest amount of notoriety, New York, is continuing with an average of a flight per day.
WHERE SPECIFICALLY ARE MIGRANTS BEING DROPPED OFF?
When looking at the flights it is not always easy to tell if a particular landing was to let off migrants or not. As discussed in previous articles, many times a plane will leave the border areas, land at Point A, go on to Point B, and then return to the border. Did they let off passengers at Point A? Unless someone was there to document it we can not be positive. But there are ways to make an educated guess given the routes the planes flew.
When we see a flight leave the border, fly to a city, then return to the border, it’s pretty obvious what has occurred. In documenting the flights to different states, in addition to seeing how many landed in a state, I then look at the next stop after that landing. How many times did a plane land in a city, then return to the border?
This table examines several states (not all mind you but some) for June of this year.
As you can see New York had a total of 32 flights in June of 2022. Of those flights, 13 landed at White Plains (Westchester Airport). Of the 13, 8 of the flights immediately returned to a border city after landing (McAllen, TX, Alexandria, LA, Miami, FL, etc.). But even the 5 other flights could have dropped illegals off in Westchester before going to drop more somewhere else- we don’t know for certain. Flights leaving Westchester went on to New York Stewart in Newburgh, NY, Cincinnati, OH and Portland, ME. While we know it is very likely 8 of the flights dropped illegals off in Westchester, it is also likely the other flights did (Is a layover needed in Westchester for a flight going to Newburgh NY which is 8 minutes away by plane? Here’s a hint: NO, it doesn’t).
Here is the flight from the Border to Westchester that then went on to Cincinnati. (Note that this is another of their typical “late night” flights landing in NY at 12:30 AM). And obviously if Cincinnati was the intended location, the plane would not fly to Westchester, NY first. My guess would be that illegals were dropped off in Westchester.
Other states saw similar situations- Pennsylvania received 12 flights in June, 8 of which went immediately back to the Border. But they too, had planes that then went on to another city and THEN returned to the Border. A flight on June 2 from Laredo, TX landed in Harrisburg. It then flew to Buffalo, NY before returning to Alexandria. As with the Westchester flight above, if Buffalo was the intended destination, why stop in Harrisburg?
While I have highlighted two states and two of the flights within those states it is important to note that there are literally thousands of these flights that have occurred since I started tracking them. How many people have been moved into your state? your town?
CONCLUSION:
The tables above reflect that what we are seeing on the news is absolutely happening. We KNOW the Biden Administration has opened the borders entirely. We have seen the footage of them arriving in ever increasing numbers. The immigrants who are questioned by reporters say that “Biden told them to come”. We have documented evidence of the Biden Admin flying them all over the country to place these migrants in virtually every state. Yet the Biden Admin continues to claim none of this is happening. They continue to lie and say that “most” of the people are being shipped back to their country of origin. But as documented above, this is far from the truth.
There are fortunately a few Republicans in Congress making noise about this. But sadly the MSM just ignores it or calls it “false information”. Where are the Democrats in states seeing these flights entering? Do they care that illegal immigrants will place an inordinate strain on resources at a time when Americans are hurting? Why are they silent on this? What about the fentanyl and potential terrorists coming in through the same open border?
The only question is what price will Biden and the Democrats pay come the November mid-terms?
