Has anyone noticed or heard of increased wait times entering the USA at Otay or San Ysidro during the current govt shutdown?

Nope, just depends on what time you try to cross.

Business as usual.

Despite Trumps border "crisis" we waited about 45 minutes a week or so ago. Nothing new except a lot of ugly razor wire.

Finally crossed on at 3:00 pm Saturday (1/5) after a 3.5 hour wait.

I dont think that's out of the ordinary, given the date you crossed.

That was the weekend after New Years and lots of people were returning that weekend at ALL border crossings, so as to get back to work on Monday. I know people who crossed at Nogales on that day and it was 3+ hours.

YES the wait is longer. Many lanes were closed on Saturday, Jan. 5 and lines were LONG and SLOW. The Internet CBP "BORDER WAIT TIMES" site is bogus.
Site said San Ysidro wait time was 55 minutes. We were in line 3.5 hours. Miserable. Sucking fumes. Got headaches. Ended up pulling off for a San Diego motel instead of continuing north.
