Apparently, Southwest needs to do a better job keeping up with the citizenship status of their employees. Yikes!

Flight attendants do a LOT more than just serve you drinks. They’re in charge of your SAFETY in an emergency.
Southwest needs to be PUNISHED for hiring illegals https://t.co/NvgDe90a1H
It's just completely unacceptable.
Illegal aliens are in our planes too!?! https://t.co/5UA1x1PEcT

There are people in America legally, who are looking for jobs as flight attendants. Those jobs should be reserved for American citizens.

Welp ...
I would have left them on the plane and fly over Jamaica and pushed him out of the plane, with a parachute of course! https://t.co/sVMfFsKOR3

That's the new ICE, home delivery program. They haven't worked out all the wrinkles yet.
Punish the companies replacing Americans! @LadyMagaUSA https://t.co/7bKV2Pg2Fx

That's a reason to celebrate.
Southwest needs to be fined $1000.00 for every day he worked for them! You hire an illegal over an American, all companies or businesses should be fined $1000.00 for every day that illegal worked for them! Simple! https://t.co/0CVVuUdLL8

There has to be monetary consequences for these companies or they won't stop.
If @SouthwestAir is employing an illegal alien, how are they withholding taxes?

The @USTreasury needs to audit their books. https://t.co/qggiPJmsyt
Was he using a fake ID or a fake Social Security number? If Southwest knew he wasn't a citizen, were they double checking his papers were renewed? Did they ask to see the new paperwork? They need to pony up some answers.
