Truly brilliant! Transportation Security Administration agents have been working for weeks without pay to ensure that flyers can fulfill their travel plans. Meanwhile, Congress people who are doing nothing to resolve that despicable situation are getting paid.
But here’s the best part. Now President Donald Trump has ordered ICE agents, whose job supposedly is dealing with all the really bad illegal immigrants, to the airports to help out. With what?
The ICE agents are not qualified to help the TSA agents with security matters and so we see them standing around while flyers stand in hours-long lines to pass through security. And the best part, the unpaid TSA agents can see the ICE agents standing around doing nothing yet getting paid for it.
Aah, Trump’s America!
