Listen, it’s not fair to you, and we all get this, but this is so much bigger than any one person. It’s a little bit of pain, but it’s going to be for the future of our country. Future Americans will be grateful for the shutdown. Your children and your grandchildren will thank you for your sacrifice right now.

+1 Agree -- while it's unfortunate that they're being used as a bargaining chip for something that is super expensive and not needed (border stops are at a 40 year low), it will be a good day when America rejects Trump's racism and hate. I hope ya'll are back to work and get the money you are owed as soon as possible. Thank you for putting up with a President who doesn't know, understand, or care about your reality of living paycheck to paycheck. Why didn't the President do this when he controlled both chambers? It's because the wall is, overall, polling negatively. He's trying to bargain with no bargaining power. It's time to send people back to work. Enough is enough. These are people's lives you're playing with.
I'll take a knee.
You are correct. The Obama administration apprehended many more illegals than the Trump administration does. Obama had no compassion. The Trump administration stops fewer illegals than Clinton did or Carter.
If all those workers along with all the GM workers not needed to build cars went down there, they could have already had that thing built.
I wish Pelosi and the Dems would do their jobs and end this already. Theres going to be a wall whether they like it or not
Is it?

This is all on Trump, enabled by McConnell. It's a power grab and it's bigger than the wall. It's an attempt to have extreme levels of of executive control. This is an authoritarian regime in development.

No it's actually just about the wall.
$5 billion for the wall and it's open again wrote:

Which is such a great idea that he waited until the Republicans did not hold the Presidency, Senate, and House to propose it.
Last week and today, Democrats voted against a measure that would pay federal workers during the partial shutdown. Republicans brought the bill to the floor. Democrats want Americans to suffer so they blame President Trump.
Six Democrats broke with leadership and voted with Republicans last week, and ten this week.
Did you even know this happened? I doubt it. The media is barely reporting it.
Rep. Crenshaw reported it last week and every Republican should have been tweeting. Crenshaw wrote on Twitter: “Last week, House GOP voted to pay federal employees their 1st paycheck of 2019, despite the shutdown. Only 6 Dems voted with us. It failed. Dem priority is not paying workers or opening gov’t. It is opposing Trump.”
The bill was brought back up Wednesday and failed 200 to 215, but now there are ten Democrats who broke with Pelosi. The point is Democrats want federal workers to suffer so they can hurt President Trump.
Some Democrats are pressuring Pelosi.
“Give Trump the money,” Minnesota Democratic Rep. Collin Peterson said on local radio Tuesday. “I’d give him the whole thing…and put strings on it so you make sure he puts the wall where it needs to be. Why are we fighting over this? We’re going to build that wall anyway, at some time.”
So far, the semi-coherent response from Dems is to say that there's no reason to act until Feb 1st, since that's when the next paycheck is?
The Democratic party cares about the poor, minorities, the middle class, the disadvantaged. They would never do this. This is obviously Faux News
