The partial government shutdown has been going on for a long time and the effect’s are spreading every day. From at first impacting the furloughed employees to impacting anyone who provides services for them (Ubers, restaurants, and more). These employees cannot be expected to work without pay, the shutdown needs to end soon. The standoff on immigration shows the true lack of compromise. Both parties are concerned about how others will view them, neither Trump or Democrats want to look like pushovers. Trump promised a wall which, since the beginning, maybe believed would be impossible and is unnecessary, but as president he is trying to fulfill his goals that he stated in day one. I believe that this wall is not worth depriving people of paychecks, especially the one who serve the government and have no influence on government policy. The wall plan should be abandoned in hopes of applying the money to better immigration reform like improving the court system, process, and backlog. These are more apparent issues, and could solve more than a wall could. Especially since most undocumented immigrants come from expired visas. The government needs to reopen soon
