We have been waiting to cross FOR SIX HOURS @WhiteHouse @VP @SenFeinstein @SenAlexPadilla @RepSaraJacobs. @CBP is a rogue agency, they're doing a work slow down. This is unreasonable.

First, we were subjected to the false hope posted on the @cpb's web site.

Our progress to enter through the Ready Lane follows:

Five agents are standing on the line (the place where the Botts Dots mark the border) staring people down as they cross, while only three gates are open to check cars. There are at least 10 gates for traffic.

We finally got through after ⌛️SIX HOURS⌛️
maps.google.com/maps?q=32.5618… on 5/9/21 04:10 heading 314° about 66mph 522.8ft above sea level.

Sure, my wife and I are now more motivated to get Global Entry or SENTRI cards from here on out, but that gate wasn't open Saturday Night / Sunday Morning at Otay.

Usually, we enter at San Ysidro, but that same site reported that all of the gates were closed from 6 - 8 p.m.

This looked like a @cpb work slowdown or sick out. The agents wanted to blow off their sworn duties. Don't tell me that this had anything to do with the pandemic: the agency that invented the phrase "hielera" doesn't care about #PublicHealth.

You need to get control of the #CPB. It is a rogue agency service themselves first and #xenophobes who would never cross any of the U.S. international #borders second.
