2020 will be decided on this issue, right now, IMO. His base does not care about the govt being shutdown and the wall and border security are the glaring issues not covered yet from 2018 campaign promises.

Does Homeland Security and the Border Patrol work during the shutdown

If they work, do they get paid?

How about the military. I think they have to keep working but Congress might need to do something  in order to keep them getting paid.  No big deal.  Most people in the military probably won't have any issues if they miss a few paychecks.

I'm sure you know they only shut down non-essential bureaucracy before you posted that.

He will cave and then proclaim a he-yuge victory for himself and state it was his plan all along.

Only a complete fucking idiot would have believed this dumbfuck when he said he was going to build a wall along the border.  What's with the gofundme shit?  Tough guy said Mexico would be paying.   Big pussy can't get his way so he's going to shut down the government.  What a complete clown.

I think they do.

They are considered an essential service like aircraft controllers.

But I've been wrong before.

Just checking. Seemed like sarcasm except for your first question. The answer to which is no they don't get paid, but they are required to work. Glad not to be traveling at this time.

They work without pay. They'll be back paid when the shut down ends.
