WASHINGTON - Groups representing major U.S. airlines, airports and travel industry companies on Friday urged U.S. Senate leaders to back additional funding for Customs and Border Patrol officers as the Trump administration said on Friday it was shifting additional officers to the southwestern border.
“While understandable, a robbing Peter to pay Paul staffing paradigm is unsustainable. The traveling and shipping public should not be subjected to excessive wait times, and we need to avoid inflicting damage on commerce and the overall U.S. economy,” the letter said. A spokeswoman for CBP confirmed on Friday that the agency “is deploying an additional 186 CBP officers to assist Border Patrol agents at sectors on the Southwest border.”
