The Biden administration’s approach to airport security has taken a comedic twist worthy of a sitcom, as it has come to light that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) rolled out express lines specifically for illegal migrants back in 2021. An unreleased document revealed by aides of former President Trump has finally shed some light on the absurdity of this policy, which essentially allowed those without proper identification to bypass security lines that routinely frustrate veteran flyers and families alike.
Under this policy, illegal migrants were provided with the green light to use a variety of dubious documents issued by the Department of Homeland Security. These included items such as arrest warrants and court appointment notices, reacting to the “identity crisis” that appears to run rampant in this administration. The TSA was so keen on speeding things along that they allowed migrants to present these documents electronically. That’s right—a snapshot of an arrest warrant on a smartphone could be all it took to rush through security while law-abiding citizens waited in line, thumbs poised over their own devices to document the chaos.
Breanna Morello, a journalist who unearthed the details of this ridiculous policy, made it clear that this was not just mere speculation. According to her findings, TSA officials previously denied the existence of these policies during Biden’s tenure, only for Trump’s team to hand over the evidence. Apparently, the TSA’s game of “don’t ask, don’t tell” only works for those who are hopped-up on grievances about borders and security matters.
Analysts have noted that this liberal initiative seems less about efficiency and more about a misguided attempt to pander to the “migrants welcome” crowd at the expense of national security. Alejandro Mayorkas, head of the border security apparatus under Biden, appears to be more invested in creating an environment conducive to an influx of folks eager for a low-wage gig than ensuring that airport security personnel can effectively vet potential threats. The underlying rationale—that unvetted individuals streaming through the country could potentially be a boon for economic growth—is flabbergasting when considering the potential risks it poses.
AND US CITIZENS WERE FORCED TO GET "REAL IDs". Total BS. Secret Biden Policy Fast-Tracked Illegals Through Airport Security Lines https://t.co/ebEJQ5DdQz via @BreitbartNews

The TSA’s own documentation highlights the implications of the policy, noting that a substantial number of illegals without proper IDs significantly complicates airport security. In a bizarre twist of logic, the agency claimed they could cut wait times for illegal migrants by almost 89 percent—an impressive feat unless you happen to be an everyday American who doesn’t fit that particular category. Instead of addressing the systemic issues plaguing border security, they’ve acknowledged that making it easier for some translates to a headache for many.
It seems that with the revival of Trump-era border policies, these fast-track lines may be headed for the same fate as a disastrous sitcom plot: straight to the cancelation bin. The focus now shifts to a serious discussion around national security and the well-being of law-abiding citizens as opposed to accommodating those who skirt the rules in exchange for a little expedited travel. The irony of these bureaucratic moves speaks volumes about the current administration’s priorities—and it’s hardly a comedy worth watching.
