"Morale is low. The TSA getting paid while the rest of us summer is not playing well inside the building. People are thinking this will go into the summer."
"The strongest impetus for a deal - the hourslong security lines at some U.S. airports - is already dissipating. Trump's decision to pay airport screeners stripped Republicans of their main pressure point."
"Remember in the last shutdown, it was airport chaos that forced the seven Democrats to switch sides and fund the government."
The ongoing government shutdown, which began on February 14, has impacted tens of thousands of workers, leading to low morale among those affected. Bipartisan negotiations regarding immigration enforcement have stalled, with House and Senate Republicans unable to reach a consensus. President Trump's decision to fund TSA paychecks has alleviated some pressure but has also diminished the urgency for a resolution. While 50,000 airport security officers are receiving pay, many others remain furloughed or unpaid, complicating the situation further.
