With spring break just around the corner for swathes of Americans, travel season will soon be upon us.
And if Democrats don’t get their act together, the travel season is going to be an absolute nightmare for people — which it already is.
For the unaware, the Department of Homeland Securityis currently shut down, as there is an ongoing congressional budget dispute over the agency.
The inability to reconcile those differences has left various branches overseen by DHS to be shut down, including the Transportation Security Administration.
Democrats specifically have been utterly insistent that Immigration and Customs Enforcement must undergo massive reform before any such budget is approved.
But while ICEcontinuesits thankless work, the TSA has not. And that’s absolutely gummed up the works in airports across the US.
KHOU-TVreported that at Houston’s Hobby Airport “travelers waited at least four hours Sunday evening to get through TSA screening lines.”
By Monday morning, that wait time had been whittled all the way down to… two hours.
According toWWL-TV, Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is dealing with wait times of up to two hours due to TSA shortages as well.
Meanwhile,WANF-TVreported that travelers expecting to traverse Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport should arrive three whole hours early to their flight.
