Border Security

[baseline bum]

Trump and the Republicans love illegal immigration. They just hate illegal immigrants.

[Will Hunting]

If it was $5 billion to spend prosecuting people like Trump for hiring illegals I'd be all for it.

Truth, and we'd probably make several times that amount back in fines, asset seizures, etc.

I have to get deposed next week because of a lawsuit the company I work for is involved in and I'm praying like that the airports get shown down before my flight leaves

That would be hilarious seeing the government try to hire new TSA agents for $0 an hour.

I don't understand how it's legal to be forcing TSA agents to work without pay but either way I can't imagine it goes on much longer without them completely striking.

TSA screener is a job with pay. If Trump's shutdown goes on a couple more weeks they'll probably just start quitting en masse since you can't pay rent, groceries, or child support on IOUs.

I think one missed paycheck is the absolute most. If there's 2 consecutive missed paychecks I think they all walk off the job.

Already calling in sick, I've heard.

When airports are affected maybe our reps and senators will deign to acknowledge the inconvenience not just to 800,000 workers and their families, but to themselves and the rest of us as well.

Uggh, that sucks man. Been there, done that.

Lawyers can be assholes. No offense to spurraider.

Aren't we already at two missed paychecks by today? We'll be at four in two weeks.

Yeah I read that Kennedy and DFW (the airports I'm flying into and out of ) are the ones hit hardest by the TSA agents calling in sick.

Thank god I'm already pre-check.

The one deposing me is supposedly a giant asshole too, I've been told that my deposition will be north of 6 hours long.

If so then I'm really surprised. Idk how a bunch of low income workers can continue to make rent working with no pay for over a month.

Damn

Testifying is a blast, too.

I feel for those TSA screeners right now. On that wage they're living paycheck to paycheck, which means tons of them are taking out predatory payday loans to make rent, eat, pay for gas, etc. But like you said before, they're the swamp to Trump.

[Will Hunting]

Damn

Testifying is a blast, too.

The one time I ever had to testify it was for a friend going through a divorce in family court where the lawyers are all really stupid, so I actually did have fun ing with his ex-wife's lawyer during cross

I imagine largely with payday loans and borrowing from friends and family. They probably got their Dec 21st check even though the shutdown started on the 20th but are missing their Dec 28th and today's check. God that's gotta suck.

just be an asshole with them tbh. be witty. make them labor through every single word and make sure their question is perfectly phrased. dont do him any favors and help fill in his question. your company's atty has probably already prepped you, but one thing i would always tell a client is to give a slight pause in between the question and the answer. give your atty a chance to process the question and come up with objections before you start your answer.

Should make him repeat every question too like he can't understand him well. Just ask 'The what?' a lot too. Like in this telemarketing call.

Yeah I've been pretty well prepped, the key is only answer the question they've asked (i.e., if they ask you "Do you know what time it is?" then answer "Yes, I do know what time it is" rather than giving them the actual time).

"Unlike most federal agencies that use the general schedule (GS) grading system to determine salary ranges,

the TSA uses an SV grading system,

a discrete salary system with pay ranges that differ from the GS system.

Airport security jobs typically begin at the D pay band, which is $25,518 to $38,277"

TSA, employer of last resort, like the military

They better not shutter down dem airports before Sunday, tbh...

I'll give you a ride to Jersey if you can bring me some of that llello you're bringing across the river. I just want an equal weight of it, what's that like couple hundred kis?

It should go better than this one

I wanna get back home... flying out of Dallas too
