What the hell is going on. Food isn't being inspected for safety. Air traffic control & TSA aren't being paid. IRS is not operating at normal capacity. Loans aren't being processed. Federal courts are going to run out of money soon.

The country is grinding to a halt. H1-b reform (or maybe not even reform we don't know the details) isn't high on the priority list. Unless someone's been talking about broad immigration reform but knowing the people that have access to Trump, that broad immigration reform is probably the 4 pillars + no birthright citizenship.

The impact of the shutdown is going to get exponentially worse if it isn't fixed today. For God sake make the deal.
