Could it be possible...

[PullerRommel]

I was watching Red Dawn the other day and then a week latter i listened to a radio show that was talking about "Illegal" immigrants that they were actually going to take over like in Red Dawn.

Now my question is, is it plausiable that the US could possibly be invaded by Charter Flights and immigrants? Like in Red Dawn

If I remember right, Red Dawn has to deal with a massive Soviet air drop in some Colorado town. That was dealing with invading Soviet forces, not a massive immigrant invasion.

I do not believe there is substantial evidence at the moment to suggest either a massive Russian invasion (political and military reasons) or a massive immigrant air drop (it would just mean perfect timing for an influx of imigrants). As far as I know, there is not a foreign plan or conspiracy to mass import immigrants.

Are you talking about the U.S.? Are you sure you mean Red Dawn?

After 911 no way - We have been tracking drug smugglers as soon as they leave airports out of Central American countries, this was happening for a long time prior to our sucker punch. Now not only does the air force fly intercept missions but the U.S border patrol has been expanded and they have one heck of a air arsenal also.

Well from what i remember from the movie they said Cuban and Nicaraguan soldiers posing as immigrants got in and then Russians entered from Chartter flights.And im talking about the US

Could it have been possible before 911 or during the Cold War and USBP i dont think are doigng anything because ive seen illegal immigrants crossing there Areal Survelance and such is good

Everything coming in and out of Cuba is also tracked by the U.S, I laughed when I saw this movie in the mid Eighties.

Yes - there are alot of people entering the U.S from the ground with tolerance, but aircraft coming in from this direction are suspect of running drugs and they are intercepted.

Cold War propaganda, in the current conflict there is no need for the Red Dawn scenario it is the Russian passports being given to people in former Soviet Satellites States. They do not need to airdrop people into those countries to start separatist groups to fight a proxy war against the Government forces. In addition, it allows Russia to use separatists or partisans behind enemy lines to disrupt logistics of NATO forces.

I have seen Red Dawn and thought it was OK. That was one of many Cold War scenarios. Immigrants could not really take over due to the fact that we will find or screen for them.

For what i remember about the movie is that the soviets piggy back with domestic airlines coming into the US (close enough so that on radar it would look like one plane),air drop their advance force's in to secure what ever area the had to and wait for the main body to come in.

In reality i do not think this is possible for even in the 1980's with less sophisticated radar and the logistic/coordination footprint is so hard to fathom.

But on the other hand if you have read tom Clancy red storm rising, it makes me shudder on how realistic that scenario is.
I was once told that the book was so realistic that it was studied in the US military academy's.
