The Democrats have refused to pass funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). That helped to cause chaos at the airports after the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) had hundreds of its employees quit because they weren't being paid. Then, too, some are calling in sick. The wait times to get through security ballooned up to hours, with mammoth lines. Not only that, but it puts all of us in a more dangerous situation when the whole of the DHS isn't being funded and protecting our security.
Democrats put their political agenda against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over their duty to protect the American people.
But Trump, after seeing the mess at the airports, then thought of sending ICE agents in to help. As Border Czar Tom Homan, who is in charge of the effort, explained, they can help relieve the TSA, allowing them to do more screening of people through the checkpoints by picking up other duties like security around the airport.
That, of course, had some Democrats flipping out. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) went full-bore crackers, claiming ICE was going to be brutalizing people and shooting them at the airports. They can't stand to lose their hostage-taking of the TSA and the American people.
But then, guess what? Even CNN noticed a change at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. Their senior national correspondent, Ryan Young, said that the lines had dropped off significantly since the morning, that the lines were under 30 minutes, which sounds a lot closer to normal wait times. He also checked through the terminals and found that the wait times were dropping around the airport. and were similar. He declared it "fantastic."
Young explained how ICE was doing security around the airport.
But there was one more thing they had to deal with, because, of course, the left then decided they had to protest ICE being at the airport, even if ICE being there might be helping the American people, and even if their protest is going to add to the headaches that the airport already has to deal with. Can we talk about how gross and despicable that is? They can't just let the issue be addressed without bellyaching for their agenda.
That sounds like good news, and we'll let you know how it goes.
The TSA also still wanted to get paid, as Young noted. But Democrats are still holding that up. The Republicans need to be very vocal about where the blame lies here and try to do what they can to resolve this issue.
Hahaha!
Some good news at the end of the night 😆
“The Republicans need to be very vocal about where the blame lies...”
Definitely, but of course it’ll be an uphill fight given the propaganda organs they have to deal with.
Trump gets it done.
Best part is the great ‘PR’ ICE is getting. 50% of agents are minorities - not the ‘white supremacists’ the media portrays. Normal Americans get to see who really helps them. I hope this goes on til the midterms.
How many families were mowed down by ice gunfire? Musta been a bloodbath, according to jeffries and whatshisname.
The democrats are responsible for the Air Canada/fire truck crash last night.
They’ve shut down the government over illegal immigrant “voters.”
Air traffic controllers are over worked and not paid.
Airports have been in chaos!
The democrats have a lot of blood on their hands!
They couldn’t care less about American citizens.
Our nightly local news (WFAA an ABC affiliate) showed long lines at Atlanta, Houston then sowed signs saying TSA delays at DFW were two minutes :) and no ICE people in sight.
If you really want to speed things up, put lots of undercover ICE on planes, make people go through AI L3 sniffers and scanners, and if they try anything onboard, empower the ICE to just pepper spray, taze, zip-tie, and/or shoot them.
If it gets people through this huge intestinal blockage that we have at airports, they will embrace the change.
So, according to CNN (LOL), ICE isn’t doing anything but mulling around in the airport, but lines magically just got shorter, much shorter.
Perhaps ICE is in the back areas inspecting checked luggage or something...but perhaps there’s more ‘organization’ to the chaos...perhaps the TSA people were being ‘encouraged’ to not work at the airport, in order to create these huge lines to put pressure on Trump, but when Trump sent ICE into the airport, then this informal ‘work stoppage’ was ended?
The democrats want more death and destruction. They want full on war at every level. They hate America and Americans. They destroyed black and minority communities for decades and enjoyed it, laughing all the way.today’s human trafficking is just their latest evil dream.Illuminati is a real mindset.Devil worship is their core derangement syndrome.
Democrats win again
An ice agent at the airport is 1 less ice agent on the streets removing illegals.
I wish republicans would fight as hard as democrats
I hope ICE will arrest illegal travelers.
Maybe, since ICE is there, all illegals canceled their flights!
That may explain the short lines now!
Will Chuck The Schmuck Schumer turn out to be an even bigger Republican vote getter than President Trump in the mid-year elections?
SCHMUCK:
A schmuck is a Yiddish-derived American slang term for a foolish, contemptible, or obnoxious person.
It is often used to describe someone who is a loser or a jerk.
It modern usage today it is generally considered an insult ranging from despicable person to dummy, blockhead, dunderhead, dumb-ass and bird brain.
“...but perhaps there’s more ‘organization’ to the chaos...perhaps the TSA people were being ‘encouraged’ to not work at the airport, in order to create these huge lines to put pressure on Trump, but when Trump sent ICE into the airport, then this informal ‘work stoppage’ was ended?”
TSA is union.
ICE is not union.
From the democrat POV it is a good thing that ICE folks are working in airports, the more the better. To the left this means fewer ICE agents out rounding up illegal D voters.
That's a good point, but I also think it's an opportunity to show the public that the ICE agents aren't the monsters the media paints them up to be.
I want them to be monsters. Screw those illegal sympathizers. I want them kicking down doors and perp walking cleaning ladies and little ninnies. Get those useless illegal pukes to run out of our country in fear.
All TSA workers executing a slowdown to support the dim’s are now back to their “normal” speed....
