United Airlines and the pirates of the air - Americanos Airlines - are refusing to fly expatriated illegal alien children out of the u.s.

El Zorro (Fox for you old fashioned Anglo types) reports:

"Like many other US airlines, American has contracts with the federal government that allow authorities to use its planesto provide for certain travel. For example, the company said it has "carried refugees for non-profits and the government.”

"We have no desire to be associated with separating families, or worse, to profit from it,” the company said in a statement Wednesday. "We have every expectation the government will comply with our request and we thank them for doing so.”

"The family separation process that has been widely publicized is not at all aligned with the values of American Airlines — we bring families together, not apart,” the statement reads.

American said it has no way of knowing for sure whether its aircraft hasbeen used to transport migrant children who have been separated from their families, but added it would be "extremely disappointed to learn that is the case.”

"

he government does not disclose information about the nature of the flights it takes or the passengers who are traveling,” the company said.

The statement from American comes after days of controversy following reports that the Trump administration has instituted a "zero tolerance” policy fordetaining undocumented immigrants at the US border.

End exerpt.
