Does he not grasp that if you're flying back internationally to Birmingham, Nashville, or New Orleans, you still have to clear customs at O'Hare or Newark?

If that's what he's thinking, it's pretty stupid...unless it's just rhetoric on his part.

Well, he is stupid, so it is entirely possible.

Obviously that would entail no international arrivals, chief.

He has exactly as much experience in law enforcement as Noem. That's my biggest beef with him. It's one thing for him to challenge a guy to a fight in a hearing. But Trump doesn't give a shite whether the guy he puts in a position like this has any experience in law enforcement.

Someone tell me what good this would do? Seems like a way to frick US citizens.

illegals aren't flying in and going through customs, so what sanctuary city policies tie to customs.

Why would I have to clear customs at O’Hare or Newark if I didn’t fly into them?

Its just rhetoric but....

Why would you have to clear customs in Newark.....if there was no customs...you would have to clear it where there was customs like Nashville or Birmingham. Therefore the planes would travel there versus NYC..hmmmmmm. And if the flights didnt come then you might as well move your business from the city. The rest of Wall Street would move, etc.

And do you have any idea what this would do to employment in that city. There is over 100 billion in international cargo flying/shipping through there.

La Guardia just spent 8 billion upgrading and JFK is in the process of spending 19 billion.

Shiver me timbers that would indeed make it a sanctuary city given the peace and quiet when everyone is gone.

He's saying those airports for the most part don't accept intercontinental flights... Most are going to land in LA, SF, Seattle, Chicago, NY, Atlanta and then route to home destinations. So you go through customs there.


ETA; Its a stupid fricking idea/threat. Its not possible, as the airlines couldn't accommodate and it would absolutely decimate international travel.

So he's going to force United, Delta, and American to shift all their transatlantic flights to those cities.

Not only is he a moron if he thinks he can do it...so is anyone who thinks he can.

Exactly... its fricking stupid.


Like someone else pointed out, Trump with another terrible appointee. He's going to cosplay as an LEO harder than Noem.

So just to be clear...you think being a US Senator counts as experience in law enforcement.

Serious question...are you this fricking stupid in real life, or is this just your message board shtick. I would like to think it's the latter, but smart money says it's the former.

This is the classic Trump admin tactic to say stupid, overly aggressive stuff to rile up the emotional portion of the base.

Then when this doesn't happen, and some small, possibly unrelated change occurs, they'll claim the puffery was just negotiations.
