If we're ignoring our immigration laws, why not ignore a few other laws? Seriously, screw them. They shouldn't be paid for time they didn't work, it's not our fault they chose to work for a bankrupt entity that can't afford to pay them. I haven't noticed this government shutdown in any way but the government sure is still taking taxes out of my paycheck.
I agree with you, Ive not seen any negatives from the Govt being shut down.
If anything it just makes it that much more clear, we dont need these services anyway.
Do you think the representatives who are refusing to fund the wall are doing so against the will of their constituents?
If you think that, maybe take a civics class and learn what keeps elected representatives in office?
That just isn't true, if Americans didn't want to build a wall along our Southern Border Donald Trump wouldn't be the President of the United States right now. Perhaps it's you that needs to brush up on civics.

Oh this old tripe. I guess you don't believe in weather satellite data from NOAA. Export licensing and controls from Commerce. Work that Homeland Security does, medical research, etc. That's great if not one thing these agencies do in a partial shutdown EVER touches your life.
American's want the laws enforced. It isn't happening. Millions upon millions freely working here illegally.
Wouldnt that be the responsibility of law enforcement then? Why are they not enforcing the laws against hiring illegals? They have no problem 'doing their job' in relation to enforcing other laws, why not this one?
I am not a federal worker, but I think this pay freeze is terrible. Terrible optics, too. Does he really think all federal workers are not his support, and that all his base hates people who work for a living in government?
The issue for me is demonizing Americans. Americans that aren't even political. We are just sitting there and he has decided he doesn't like us. Federal employees can't bargain for their worth. You could be the best employee ever and you can't go to the boss and say, hey I am doing great... give me a raise. They will point you to the yearly cost of living raise. Which isn't even that much. And now we don't even get that? We have had freezes before recently and never got the money back.
If this was the consequence of some major thing like a major tax cut for me or getting funding for the wall, maybe I would be ok with it. But this is just spiteful.
Well Trump, I can be spiteful too. Can't wait to order a new 2K desk for my office next year.
They've been told to hate the government, hate the media, hate immigrants although most will say we want LEGAL immigrants they actually don't, hate anyone of color, hate nonChristians . . .
I’m curious...what do people like you do when they see conservative couples or Trump supporters that are biracial? Does it boggle your mind since all conservatives are supposed to hate people of color? Do you give them the “Uncle Tom” treatment? Does your brain freeze up and just stop functioning (much like when you posted this nonsense)?
