That's a pretty decent paycheck. Like, the equivalent of a $78,000 salary. Actually, more than that, when you consider this is likely tax free. I'm in.

federal hiring freeze doesnt apply to law enforcement iirc

theyre dumb but not quite that dumb
except it actually does and anyone who hires them can't actually legally pay them

customs agents are incredibly understaffed to handle air traffic and there are no new ones for example

Plus there's the issue of, you know, finding qualif-pfffhahaha these people aren't gonna have to pass poo poo to get hired.

NPR did an interview the other day with someone who used to be high up in Border Patrol and they had real issues finding enough qualified people to fill the desired increases because so many people were just straight up felons who wanted to smuggle drugs. I'm assuming something similar's gonna happen here.
