The Washington Post: There will be no quick fix for the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) staffing shortage that has led to long hours of overtime for its officers and long lines for travelers.
Hiring difficulties have resulted in “more work being handled by fewer staff,” Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Homeland Security subcommittee, said at a hearing Tuesday. She noted CBP’s “ambitious hiring goals…have yet to be realized. The long entry lines at our land borders and airports are due in part to understaffing of these critical frontline positions.”
