CNN’s Camerota: Trump’s Shutdown Making the Country Less Safe Because There Are Fewer TSA Agents on the Job

‘The facts tell us most people who present who might be terrorists, come through airports and not the southern border’

EXCERPT:

KUCINICH: "Airports, by the way, that are currently dealing with TSA agents who aren’t getting paid —"
CAMEROTA: "Bingo."
KUCINICH: " — who are —"
CAMEROTA: "Bingo. Actually this whole stalemate over the border wall, the impasse over the border wall is actually making the country less safe because there are fewer TSA agents on the job because they’re not being paid."
KUCINICH: "Right. Exactly. So it is cutting off his nose to spite his face. It's also causing immigration courts to slow and asylum claims to be processed slower. Things that the President said he wants to do in terms of speeding that up, it’s not happening. It’s because of this government shutdown."
