              The irony is that most illegal immigrants get here through the airports, not the southern border.   Now a lot of airport security workers are not showing up for work BC they can't afford to work and not get paid.

After reading several of the responses on this thread, I understand how Trump was elected in the first place and continues to have the support he has.  You cannot fix opinionated, close-minded, and unwilling to accept facts!

You heard wrong.  I listened to the news this morning and they said as of now tax refunds will go out on time.

And they have said more than once food stamps will not be effected.

60% of illegal entries come from border crossing.
90% of all heroin entering the USA comes from border crossings.
Thousands of kids are s*x trafficked crossing the border.

Securing the border isn't just about the surge of illegal aliens.

& btw, the first missed paycheck for government workers will be this Friday, January 11. No one has missed a paycheck yet....  so much misinformation out there, it is really quite sad.

I work with a guy that had a sister brutally murdered by her father-in-law around 10 yrs ago.I am not sure how the divorce happened with his son,but she had a house next door to her FIL.One day she had the surveyors over.The FIL flipped out and shot her as well as stabbed her to death.I guess she didnt get the wall up in time.

Well, I am a federal worker contractor, and during the shutdown I am home, without pay, and because is a contract WE WILL NOT GET PAYBACK, so to all of you that say you do not care, please think of the families that have only 1 salary, do not get pay check now, we are on the 3rd week of the shutdownn for Christ sake.  I have to pay mortgage, utilities and eat and my paycheck is gone.

People needs to be a little bit compassionate of others and not selfish.  And I am not only talking about the government, all of them the Peesident, the congress the senate they are all sacrificing families for stupidities.  I am also talking about people who says WHO CARES, hopefully since some of you have jobs you can help me pay my bills.

I do care that you are penalized because the higher ups in the government can't seem to get their Sh*t together and work this out.

They never seem to think of the little guy who is the one who always seems to suffer from their actions.

Let them shutdown! As long as it doesn't effect my job personally, go ahead and just shutdown. There are a lot of valid points listed here...

LOL.  You didn't make any point. The only point YOU have made is that you talk out of both sides of your mouth.  You call me out for supposedly calling others names and in that exact same post you call Trump names and make fun of him thus doing the exact same thing you are yapping at me for doing.

Then you want to be smart putting down anyone who voted or who you THINK voted for Trump or a Republican and say well after reading these comments I can see how people are so stupid to vote Republican.

Well I can say the exact same thing about you or any one who would vote for Killary or any dumocrat.  You have not made any points.  The only point YOU have made is you want to put down anyone who does not agree with you.

There is no way any sane person could see what the democrats are doing right now and still support the party.
Of course you are going to ramble back and say the exact same thing back to me.  SO you may as well let it go.
We do not agree and we never will.

LOL  WELL.....
When they get their info from CNN or other biased liberal sources what would you expect?

Anyone who thinks the majority of illegals come in on plane are so foolish it is pointless to talk to them.  They walk across the borders in droves.  Did these people not see the videos of thousands of them trying to RUSH the border agents?  That is NOT peacefully trying to seek asylum.  And nothing says we have to let every person who claims to be seeking asylum in to this country.  If you have no way to support yourself and want to come here and expect us to pay for your food, clothes, housing, medical, and everything else you need --- we have enough leaches here already.
