CBP Drops Memorial Day Travel “Warning” That’s Basically Just a Scream Into the Void

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a move that has everyone collectively rolling their eyes, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued their annual “be ready to wait for 47 hours” Memorial Day travel warning. As if we didn’t already know that the world’s largest mobile parking lot is about to form at the San Ysidro border crossing.

TL;DR: If you’re planning to go to TJ for some $3 tacos, bring a book, a tent, and maybe a posthumous will. The agency’s official statement read: “Please prepare for significant delays… like, we’re not even joking this time. We promise the wait times will be longer than the line for a PS5 at launch… if it were run by a grandma with a single pen.”

The Sarcastic Reaction:

I, for one, am shocked – shocked – that the agency with a budget larger than the GDP of some small countries can’t figure out how to process more than three cars an hour. AITA for thinking that a “warning” that essentially says “buy a neck pillow and accept your fate” is peak government efficiency? It’s giving major “we fixed the glitch” energy, but the glitch is your entire weekend.

The Viral Takeaway:

CBP says peak wait times could exceed 6 hours at the busiest ports of entry. For comparison, that’s longer than the runtime of Avatar: The Way of Water (without the good parts). So, as you pack the car, just remember: the only thing longer than this wait will be the list of excuses CBP gives for why they didn’t hire enough staff.

Verdict: NTA (Not The Authorities?), but definitely the villains of this holiday weekend. Happy Memorial Day! Don’t say
