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.

snailpresident7약 7년I don't know why we need the wall, and if you shut down the government for it then well . . .- anonymous 약 7년It won't last that long.
- spget약 7년why do we have to have the wall?
wolfdog약 7년To be more effective at protecting our own border.
zdogdaboss623약 7년The wall won't help at all. The people who bring in illegal drugs, or come to america illegally come in by plane, not through the border. The people that come in illegally also just overstay their temporary visas, which they originally just come in by plane, as stated earlier.

- wolfdog약 7년We need it to better secure our border. And can't you just take a plane anyway?
- zdogdaboss623약 7년I live in phoenix. When I want to go to Puerto Penasco in Mexico, I just drive. Sure, it takes 5 hours rather than just 1 by riding a plane, but it costs less than a sixth of what it would have cost flying on a plane. So that's why I don't take a plane.
- snailpresident7약 7년we know the border is there and it exists so everyone should be equal and not seperated by where they live or the color of their skin
- RANDOM약 7년this is crazy
ajg16약 7년Wow. Unbelievable I had no this was happening. It's totally not right that the people who caused all those people to lose their jobs still get paid! Also I'm shocked That the president would go this far to get funding to build a wall (Which is a bad idea anyways!)- some dude약 7년I wonder how much the crime rates are gonna spike?
