Government shutdown becomes longest in U.S. history, and takes toll on contractors who are not owed back pay. “It’s an inequality issue in that it affects people at the bottom,” said Nobel-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz.

Just build the darn wall

All those immigrants coming in should be put to work building the wall. Work camps?

The president is a businessman he understands there's going to be a struggle but the wall will make it better for everybody including Mexico it's a win-win situation.

the costs of letting a putin puppet put up a racist wall with OUR money are beyond counting

Why must reg folks be subject to non functioning, bad management, political fighting? There are many issues that demand attention. Is this the new go to bargaining chip, make hostages of us all over a “campaign promise”? Utterly shameful.

5.7 this year another 6 next year and so on and so on

MAGA

The dems strong armed Trump on Omnibus....now that the chickens have come home...they won't budge. What did they think...he was going to forget and forgive them.

5 billion will hardly cover 200 miles of wall. Its not even the full cost

Unite4Truth Call the Democrats

It’s not about the cost , it’s about politics

You guys and your half info on every subject. I dare you to release facts about how a wall does not work as well and is so expensive, in contrast to how effective the lefts idea of border security is and the price tag behind it. Oh wait, you won’t!

If they want to create jobs, why not start by building something? More building- less handouts!

Severe damage to the economy? No wonder why the Democrats aren't budging on the matter. They've been trying to do that for over the last decade and have seen minimal success.

How about the money saved by not having to detain these people in the first place?

dig a moat and fill it with sharks

5.7 billion of a loss to people raising rent and making the USA unlivable for those of us born here you guys ruined california and you're trying to do it everywhere that's BILLIONS that go back to us. Fuck produce companies.

This expert is correct. The costs to the illegal drug industry and child sex trafficking industry will be astronomical.

And we blame the Dems especially SpeakerPelosi for this

How come all of these so called 'experts' on ever topic that pops up Never have Names?!

Tell the obstructionist Democrats.

Fund the wall

WE NEED THE WALL!!

Things a wall can’t stop: Planes Helicopters Drones Ladders Tunnels Rope Boats Legal points of entry Northern border Things a wall can stop: The government Wile E. Coyote

If you want to work tell your democrat congress person or your senators and tell the to build the damn wall.

Spin all you want the FACT is the DNC and the fake news media is supporting illegals, child sex traders, drug cartel,MS-13 over the safety of American , border Patrol, Police, and the future of our children. 65 % of the people want a barrier. Every expert says it is needed.

Give the President $5.7 billion and open the government so people can get paid.

Well Mr 'One Expert' if that is your real name. The cost of illegall immigration for all the welfare programs and medical services by itself will far surpass 5.7B. Then you add the cost of American lives and medical costs for illegal drugs brought across the border too. Build it.

All of this is bs wake up.ppl

not sure how trump can call a national emergency over something for 1) isn't & 2) if it is an emergency how can it be on hold for weeks.. hurricanes are emergency that day,9/11 was an emergency that day but this just is not a national emergency

BuildTheWall

4000 sexual assault incarcerations (in Texas) of illegal immigrants since 2008. Worth every penny.

There’s so many more pressing issues this $5.7 billion could be spent on! Our veterans, our military, our kids & education, our seniors, global warming (yes, I believe), etc.! The wall will not work!

$5.7 billion would barely scratch the surface of the cost to build the wall, and doesn't even take in to account the inevitable lawsuits by property owners over the issue of eminent domain. Trump's position is a farce.

Unite4Truth Solution. Provide the funding for border security.

No god damn wall. Period.

Trump only wants to be able to say to his base 'I tried to build the wall. ' That's it. He doesn't care one way or the other. Truly amoral people sleep well at night.

Democrats are the party of hate, the party of resist.. they resist everything Trump does making spectacles like the Kavanaugh hearings..they cut him down every second they get Their resistance are destroying the nation They are spoiled rotten brats that been in office too long

Democrats need to stop being retarded about this, and fund the wall they voted for a few years back. As immigrants find the troubles they are fleeing are following them in the group of one thousand behind them, Democrats will begin to see support for them erode.

the wall do not take 5.7 billion all it takes is paper pen and ink upgrading the immigration system itself fixing overstay Visa marriages, asylum, job hiring, IDs and people harboring illegal aliens. all it takes is the American government judicial system making this law.

It is very evident to American people that major media has propaganda in full gear against President as they always support a leftist activist agenda. The 2016 vote has never sunk into the media that we don’t need them to know what the truth is. Build the wall!!!

It isn't about money, it's about building a wall.

They've barely spent the $1.6 billion of taxpayer money they were already given. TrumpShutdown

perhaps its the record he is after and thats it

So the longer the Trumpdown lasts, the more Americans pay for the Trump white elephant.

Unite4Truth What about the cost on our children?

Your advertising your own journalism which is anti Trump so your perception is obviously skewed. There will be no lasting damage from a shut down. To do nothing invites the same conditions we have today. Open borders.

Rational—but how “rational” to give in to a despotic mental defective⁉️

Sounds like the Dems are being penny wise and pound foolish in not coughing up the $5B for the wall. Surely there must be some border stretches that can benefit from additional fencing. The Dems must be reasonable for the good of the country and so the economy can move on.

If they could provide money for foreign countries abortion which was in the Bill our country comes first and that wall comes first

Then tell Congress to do their job. 5.7B is requested by border workers to do their job. Give them what they need for border security.

Can we get details from Trump for exactly what he pretends he's going to do with $5.7 (that he will never get)?

It’s easy to find on “expert” to say anything is bad; even if common sense says “What you say Willis?”

Don’t forget these dollars will reappear after the shutdown.
