Do illegal immigrants get frequent flyer miles for using the real Con Air?

Question

Its flights go to more than 40 U.S. and international cities.

Hundreds of thousands have flown on its jets since 1995, which come with meal service. And in thousands of flights since 2000, there have been only two accidents, with no passenger injuries.

But you can't buy a ticket.

The only passengers on the sleek, white jets are prisoners or illegal immigrants going home.

The airline -- run by the federal government -- is one of the ways illegal immigrants caught in South Carolina are returned to their homelands.

With a push to deport more illegal immigrants, the Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System airline, which Hollywood moviemakers made famous in the 1997 film "Con Air," expects to be busy for years to come.

Answer 1

Wouldn't it be less costly to just give them a path to residency to let them stay here so USA doesn't pay for it and the illegals will be paying taxes?

Answer 2

I'm sure they do

they deport them and they come right back

Answer 3

Remember that old "Up in Smoke" movie?  There illegals called immigration on themselves because they wanted a free ride home on a bus to attend a wedding.  I bet they do things like that in real life.  Especially when they get a cushy ride on a plane.
