President Donald Trump wants a strong and bigger southern border not only to keep people out but as a monument for himself. Once he leaves his presidency, the wall will mark his legacy. Although it’s not certain the wall will be built, the disagreement between republicans and democrats has caused the government shutdown and worker wallets to be empty.
At this point, many federal workers are looking at their second missed paycheck coming up. Not only are workers’ wallets affected, but their health is at stake as well. A growing number cannot afford medications or even food for their families, not to mention rent and money for other bills. As the shutdown continues, more individuals cannot provide for themselves until the government resumes.
