It wasn’t that long ago that things felt like they were coming apart at the seams. During the Biden years, a palpable sense of decay settled over the public spaces we once took for granted. Our city centers became experiments in managed disorder, and the simple expectation of safety and normalcy felt like a relic from a more serious time.

Nowhere was this rot more visible than in our nation’s airports. For months, Americans traveling for business or to see family were greeted with the surreal spectacle of terminals transformed into makeshift migrant camps. Crowds of illegal immigrants sprawled across floors, a constant, in-your-face reminder that our country’s leadership had lost control of our borders and, apparently, our critical infrastructure. It was a symptom of a nation unmoored, but the real cause was far more sinister than simple incompetence.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

A new Senate report alleges that the Biden administration pressured US airports to house illegal immigrants, even after aviation officials warned that doing so could compromise airport safety and endanger travelers.

The 47-page report titled “Flight Risk,” released by the Senate Commerce Committee and obtained by Fox News, claims the Biden administration directed federal transportation agencies, including the Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), to identify airport facilities that could be converted into temporary shelters or processing centers for illegal immigrant.

That’s right. The chaos wasn’t an accident. The images of migrants sleeping at the gate weren’t the result of a system simply cracking under pressure. According to this bombshell Senate report, it was a planned, top-down policy forced onto our airports by the Biden White House itself. They didn’t just let the crisis happen; they actively used federal power to import it into the heart of our nation’s travel hubs.

A Deliberate Betrayal of Public Safety

The administration wasn’t just negligent; it was stunningly reckless. The report reveals that officials at Massport, which operates Boston’s Logan Airport, sent a direct warning to the federal government: “We are not designed or resourced to manage the intake of migrant populations… this would create a host of unintended safety and security consequences.” That warning, of course, was ignored. But who needs experts when you have a political agenda, right?

The consequences were immediate and dangerous. At Chicago’s O’Hare, where up to 900 illegal immigrants were housed, police logged 329 service calls and made 26 arrests for crimes including theft and disorderly conduct. There was even a death investigation. At New York’s JFK, an Ecuadorian national named Kleber Loor-Ponce breached a security post and sprinted toward two active runways while carrying a box cutter and scissors. This wasn’t just a housing problem; it was a grave and entirely predictable security threat.

‘Fox News Fodder’ in the Making

And here’s the kicker—the part that shows just how cynical this whole game was. The report proves that the Biden administration knew exactly how wrong their actions were. In one internal email from a Department of Transportation staffer, the reaction to the White House’s directive was a moment of pure, unadulterated candor: “Yikes, this is definitely Fox News fodder in the making.”

They knew. Full stop. They knew it was a political scandal. They knew it was indefensible. And they did it anyway. The report details how the FAA was pushed to ignore its own federal grant-assurance rules, which explicitly restrict non-aviation activities at airports. This was a secretive and coercive abuse of power, weaponizing federal agencies to advance a radical open-borders agenda at the expense of the rule of law.

The Taxpayer-Funded Invasion

While American travelers were put at risk, American taxpayers were put on the hook. The report found that Boston’s Logan Airport was forced to spend $779,000 on cleaning, security, and transportation to manage the crisis the White House had manufactured. In Chicago, law enforcement resources were drained away from protecting citizens to policing the migrant encampment inside O’Hare.

Every dollar and every police hour spent was a direct diversion of resources away from the American people. This is the ultimate expression of an “America Last” ideology. Instead of using federal agencies to secure the border and protect infrastructure, the Biden administration co-opted them to facilitate an invasion, forcing local communities and taxpayers to carry the burden.

The “Flight Risk” report is more than just an indictment of a failed policy. It is a window into the soul of an administration that held the safety of its own citizens in contempt. They willfully turned our airports—secure zones that are vital to our economy and way of life—into dangerous and unsanitary migrant shelters to serve a political objective. The truth is finally out, and it confirms what conservatives have known all along: the safety and security of the American people must always come first.

Key Takeaways

• The Biden White House knowingly endangered Americans by turning airports into migrant shelters.
• Internal emails prove the administration knew its covert policy was wrong and politically explosive.
• Federal agencies ignored explicit safety warnings and violated their own regulations under pressure.
• American taxpayers were forced to fund the consequences of this manufactured crisis.
