I think that you’re exaggerate the potential impact on travel just a little too much. Connecting on the same day should not be impacted the only thing that will be impacted is the time, which could on a busy day during a busy time add possibly double the wait times according the latest information published on the furloughs by the CBP.

The amount of time you will need to make your connecting flight during this time will vary based on the airport you will arrive to. For the worst case scenarios which would be in the major ports like LAX or JFK you could add up to another 50-100% of the time you have allotted yourself to make a connection so if you assumed 3 hours increase time if possible to 4-6 hours.

At this point noone would be able to give you any more accuracy given that the impact has not yet been measured.

You could also watch portals like iFly, which seems to collect security clearance information and delays.
