People love shutdowns.

Shutdowns will be forgotten by 2020.

A person legally entering the country is not impacted by the things you noted above.



What you mean everyone else doesn't?

Yes, like every other person that legally immigrates to the US. I can provide you with a step by step process if you like from several real life examples from my friends and relatives that have done this.
PM it to me I know someone in this situation.

Last I heard Putin cannot vote, is not even a US citizen. So hard to see how he is to blame for it.

I don't ever remember a president shutting down government because of $5B for a misguided program. This is new, the house didn't want it included in the original proposal until Trump changed his mind. There are plenty of republicans that feel this is wasteful including some senators.


Maybe someone has some historical reference for a president presenting an ultimatum in prior shutdowns.

He's in the White House with all his close friends, I do believe poor Melania is back in DC.

Well, we have given a combined $4.5 billion in aid to Israel and Egypt in 2018, so the five billion really is not the issue, the wall is the issue. They do not want a wall, even if it was free.

Why do the democrats keep causing these shutdowns? Dont they care about those poor government workers? I’m sure the republicans will figure something out. They always come up with solutions to the Democrat’s messes.

Now we are saving , as we are not paying 420,000 employees today, laid off, whom their employer admits are not essential.
I find it so discouraging when people imagine, because something doesn't affect them personally, there's no problem whatsoever.
