Unpaid Labor

So the dontard doesn't want the shut down to inconvenience any of his supporters or too many Americans, so he has required more of the locked out employees to work on the promise of future reimbursement.

The mote he mitigates the impact of the shutdown the less reason he has to sign the appropriation bills and try to persuade America we need a wall.

Its a ridiculous situation in the first place where you can fail to fund the Government and avoid the consequences.

If failure to fund the Government resulted in the real consequences, it wouldn't happen.

Shutting down the TSA, the Coast Guard, the IRS etc. would not be tolerated.

It doesn't even seem like it can be constitutional OK since slavery is abolished to make people work without pay.  There is a promise to pay after the shut down but by making them work you are prolonging it by reducing the impact.

Whether you believe we need a wall or not we should all be outraged by how the brunt of this is on the workers and their families who have bills and expenses now.

The situation on the border is no more of a crisis now than it has been, if it is a crisis.

Convince the American people and their representatives we need a wall and it will be built.

It is pretty clear from the last election we don't think it is needed.

Elections have consequences after all.
