A lot of people forget that we the people voted for a wall 10 years ago. It was illegally stopped by the Obama administration. The money was approved but the swamp with backdoor payments did what they always do and sided with the big donors over the people. This is one of the reasons Trump won so it either gets done or the GOP will not look the same in 2018. Many old faces will be gone.
Got a link to back up your claims, both about the approval and funding, and that Obama illegally stopped the wall from being built?
I find it absolutely astounding that anyone believed that Trump would actually get Mexico to pay for the wall. Now? Trump is threatening to hold the government hostage until Congress approves taxpayer money to build it. Not only are the Trump voters getting screwed for the cost of the wall, but they are also going to get screwed if they work for the government or get any kind of government check.
The active duty military and the retired vets are gonna be pissed.......
What a drama queen, all mandatory payments have been made during every shutdown. Only furloughed workers will be temporarily affected.

I was on active duty when the shutdown happened in the mid 90's. No, the military did NOT get paid during the time of the shutdown, they had to wait until the government opened back up to get their checks. Navy Relief was busy as hell during those three weeks giving loans to people who had to meet rent.
I was active duty 82-2000 on my last tour, I always got paid. Are you sure you're not misremembering?

Nope, because during that time, all the civilians were sent home, which left the PSD at only about 45 percent manning. I also remember the civilians calling us on a daily basis to ask if we had heard anything about when they could come back.
Like I said, the military missed their check on the 15th, but they were paid on the 24th, when the government reopened.
How about a link.
