As I've been saying since coming to this forum, our federal debt is the single greatest threat to the future of our country than any other issue. Not guns, not trannies, not abortion.
Both parties put on theater for the rubes to distract them from our real problems, because neither party is interested in reducing spending. It's how incumbents hold onto their power, by giving the people what they want.
The Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) delayed maintenance of facilities, which had a serious impact on law enforcement officer operations and safety, including at the border. The lack of these critical maintenance and repair services endangered the lives of law enforcement officers and created significant border security vulnerabilities.

All CPSC activities at ports related to the surveillance and inspection of products imported from other countries were suspended during the shutdowns. All CPSC port inspectors were furloughed, so during the shutdowns, no incoming foreign import shipments were stopped at the ports and reviewed for potential violations. This lack of CPSC screening at the ports during shutdown periods increases the likelihood that potentially unsafe foreign products are able to pass through the border, enter the stream of commerce, and be sold to American consumers.
Sound like a good time to sneak a nuke into the US! Or even more fetanyl.
DHS halted background investigations and fitness and suitability determinations, which negatively impacted field offices by creating a backlog of applicants waiting for approval to support critical DHS missions.

If it was Trump's shutdown why wasn't it Clinton's shutdown and why wouldn't it be Biden's shutdown? Delayed maintenance of facilities? Give me a break. Is that the best the left can accuse Trump of?
