This is a manufactured crisis to try and tie up the Democratic House and take some of the air time away from the Mueller investigation.

Plus Trump and his acolytes want leverage for gutting US immigration policies to restrict minorities’ coming into the US—period
It is a racist, xenophobic, alt-right agenda...

Is TSA a pain? Yes, but we haven't had anymore planes chasing into buildings and killing thousands of people. So there is a need for TSA... Sorry, I wouldn't trust a contracted security company to do airport security since to most, not all, but most (90%) don't care who they hire at minimum wage to fill a uniform, as long as it's a living breathing body.

I just hope that congrass/president signs a funding bill to pay TSP workers and all other federal employees involves in law enforcement, security, safety and intelligence work... And the military, but they've been funded up to this point.

How are they going to get jobs during the shutdown???
You are just praising info that isn’t even LOGICAL much less accurate

Are they going to take jobs at National Parks away from furloughed Federal workers???
Are they going to work at SS or DHHS???
Do you think they are having any better luck crossing the border NOW when the Admin is flooding the border area with personnel???

And face it—
Do YOU want to work at a chicken processing plant w/o proper safety processes???
Do YOU want to work at a carpet factor or in the fields pulling tomatoes for less than minimum wage and no benefits???

Of course you don’t—no American does
Which is why those jobs are usually filled with illegal workers from across the southern border

IF those companies are forced to hire Americans they will have to pay higher wages
And prices will go up
And YOU will complain...

Having FEDERAL workers going to Go-fund-me to BEG for money should shame any responsible government leader...
Since we know Trump has no shame, it will bounce off his like water off glass...
