Heathrow-JFK flight bypasses immigration after plane arrives at the WRONG terminal | Mail Online

This happened at JFK airport in NYC which is a main gateway in the USA. I am wondering how this could have happened and if one needs to be concerned about airport security at all American airports that handle incoming international flights.

Pilot given the wrong gate. Pilot could have questioned instructions since he knew they were headed for domestic terminal.

Clearly this was done intentionally by Eric Holder and Barack Obama so they could register the European passengers as Democrat voters and give them all Obamaphones and Obamacare.

Was the pilot really supposed to be concerned about that? It's not as if they are immigration officers.

Naw, they are interested in people who can NOT get into the United States legally. People whom the Democrats can recruit to their side by ignoring and/or breaking the laws they were elected to uphold, and letting them in anyway.

The ones on this plane, already had their visas and permits. Nothing to be gained here.

The pilot is in command until engine shutdown and all passengers debark. Be interesting what the CVR has to say about comments on the flight deck.

It will be hard for them to explain when they try to leave, because they won't have the entry stamps on the passports.

The U.S. doesn't have exit controls.

Why is this a big deal? It is not like people knew it was going to happen. Criminals, terrorists wouldn't be sitting in London going wait until this day and book this Delta flight because it won't go through immigration upon landing.

Yes, they check your passport when you leave, especially the foreign ones.

So you're saying that Europeans are natural Republicans because they are white? The overwhelming majority of white western European immigrants, once naturalized in the US, become Democrats because their conservative parties are at the same level or left of the Democratic Party
