WE ARE NOW IN DAY-32 OF THE PARTIAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN … AND NEW MEXICO SENATOR TOM UDALL SAYS IT’S IMPACTING MORE THAN 10-THOUSAND FEDERAL WORKERS IN THIS STATE. NONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE GETTING PAID AND MANY LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK. SOME ARE EVEN LOOKING FOR OTHER JOBS OR GETTING HELP FROM FOOD BANKS.
ON SATURDAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID HE’D END THE SHUTDOWN BY SWAPPING THE EXTENDING PROTECTED IMMIGRATION STATUS FOR THREE YEARS FOR THE 5-POINT-7 BILLION DOLLARS HE WANTS TO BUILD THE BORDER WALL. DEMOCRATS FLATLY REFUSED THE OFFER.
