If you have been paying any attention to the news, you probably know that the US Government has been partially shut since midnight December 21, 2018. More specifically, work at nine departments, as well as some agencies making up roughly 25 percent of the federal government, has either ground to a halt or is being conducted at a slower pace because the budget to fund their day-to-day operations has not been approved by Congress. As a result, a fraction of the 800,000 employees, who are considered “non-essential,” have been furloughed, or forced to take a leave of absence. The remaining “essential” employees are expected to report for duty as usual, but will not get paid until a budget has been approved.

rainbowbrite약 7년That's crazy.I never even noticed this stuff.- Wolfdog약 7년@Bambie, it is important to keep out bad things that might come into America. You should be taking a plane to get in anyway. The reason why Canada doesn't have a wall is because they haven't been bringing anything bad into the USA.
- Bambie약 7년For everyone saying the wall is important I just was wondering why. Shouldn't people from other countries be able to come to the USA seeking a better life, escape from war, etc.
- Alaskan_Wolf약 7년this is really interesting if you really think about it.
- spaghetti약 7년I don't think the wall is very effective because illegal immigrants would still make their way either under, over, or around the border.
- PurplePhone약 7년Wow... This is not right, To take away people’s jobs to just build a wall?! And your not even paying the employees that are still there....
