As I’m flying out of Laredo to DFW I noticed almost every person in the airport is an illegal migrant.

A @AmericanAir rep told me more illegal migrants fly out of this airport on a daily basis than Americans.

I asked a Border Patrol Agent who is checking documents if any of them are screened for Tuberculosis or COVID and he replied “Not that I’m aware of— At least not here anyways”

As I pulled up to the airport a migrant who is now on my flight was throwing up outside.

Is this not a huge safety risk? Why are these people not being screened before being flown into major American cities and why are major airlines helping facilitate this?

Sitting in first class with two illegal migrants from Peru and Honduras currently.

@AmericanAir attendants are having lots of problems communicating with migrants.

@AmericanAir The announcement on the plane directing people is in Spanish— Never seen that before.

@AmericanAir Most illegal migrants have 2 connecting flights with a final destination. I’ve seen NC, Philadelphia, Denver, DFW, and Washington DC so far today.

One Venezuelan Migrant I talked to today didn’t understand why he was going to DC as they didn’t tell him anything.

@AmericanAir Here is the captioned version of the Border Patrol Agent saying migrants aren’t receiving health screening before flying and the @americanair rep saying there are more illegal migrants that fly out daily than Americans “EVERY SINGLE DAY”.

@AmericanAir Just talked to another illegal migrant that’s was in First Class with me from Guatemala and he is heading to California.

Talked to a Venezuelan illegal migrant as well and he is heading to North Dakota which seems odd to me.
