As migrant crossings at the southern border increase by the day, Congressman Matt Gaetz is asking the chief executive of Delta Air Lines, Edward Bastion, about his company’s involvement in transporting those same migrants throughout the country. One conservative activist, Ashley St. Clair, and a Fox News reporter, Bill Melugin, first reported that airports now have lines for “non-US citizens without passports” at airports. 

“It has recently come to my attention that Delta Air Lines is transporting non-resident aliens from the southern border of the United States into the interior of the country,” Mr. Gaetz writes to Mr. Bastion. “The United States Congress has an interest in understanding pursuant to which arrangements with federal agencies and non-governmental organizations non-resident aliens are able to book and travel on Delta Air Lines flights.”
