More Information
In-Depth: President Donald Trump offered the following statement on an agreement to end the partial government shutdown:
“After 36 days of spirited debate and dialogue, I have seen and heard from enough Democrats and Republicans that they are willing to put partisanship aside -- I think -- and put the security of the American people first. I do believe they're going to do that. They have said they are for complete border security, and they have finally and fully acknowledged that having barriers, fencing, or walls -- or whatever you want to call it -- will be an important part of the solution...
Over the next 21 days, I expect that both Democrats and Republicans will operate in good faith. This is an opportunity for all parties to work together for the benefit of our whole, beautiful, wonderful nation.
Once funding is restored, federal workers who’ve been furloughed or were deemed essential and worked without pay should begin receiving their back pay. Congress passed, and President Trump signed, legislation providing back pay to affected workers earlier in January effective once the lapse in funding ends.

Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019
Official Title
Making further continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2019, and for other purposes.
Just open the govt and get to work! The wall is a bad idea!
Is my 6 billion in the budget for my fence? Then no
Open all agencies. No shutdown as legislative tactic. Three Republican shutdowns in s year is disgraceful and demonstrates that Republicans can’t govern. Keep everything in the previous budget the same until you reach agreement. Holding hostages is terrorism.
The US government is the largest employer in the US. Not paying the mailman or the people check your food to make sure is safe is definitely not a smart decision especially if the time span is regarded as the “longest shutdown in history” Trump is using starving the people to get what he wants and it’s a sad and pathetic tactic that only works in dictatorships. If the wall is built, you have just let man know that he has more powerful than he thinks he has.
ALL OF GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE OPENED AND ALL OF THE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE BEEN FORCED INTO SLAVERY BECAUSE THEY WERE FORCED TO WORK WITHOUT PAY NEED TO BE COMPENSATED......
IT IS SO LUDICROUS THAT THE ASININE TRAITOR IN CHIEF #45 IS HOLDING OUR COUNTRY HOSTAGE DUE TO HIS IDIOTIC WHIMS.
#45 IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE, HIS ACTIONS AND RHETORIC HAVE SET AMERICA INTO A PRECARIOUS STATE WHERE WE WILL BE ENDURING MANY YEARS OF CONTEMPT AND OBLOQUY AS WE LOSE RESPECT AS A SYMBOL OF LEADERSHIP IN THE WORLD !!
Ok, Republican voters on this site, stop being hypocritical. Republican voters want to blame Democratic Party politicians for the government shutdown (even though Trump said he would own it and would not blame Democrats) by saying "both sides" need to negotiate. Democrats are trying to negotiate by re-opening the government, but all you Republican voters on this site say is, "Is the 6 million dollars for my border wall included? Then no." That is hypocritical. "Negotiation" requires concession and discussion on both sides, not a unilateral rejection unless your demands are met; that is more akin to hostage negotiation, and it is obvious to the American people that this has become a hostage crisis with this President. We (the American voters) will remember this in 2020...
This shutdown is creating hardships for individuals, threatening our national security, and creating economic consequences. It's ridiculous for it to continue like this. Do. Your. Job.
This shut down is PURELY Democrats choosing foriegn nationals over their constituents. If they truly care about the harm they're causing, SECURE THE DAMN BORDER! Thus benefiting Federal workers AND the American people they're sworn to represent. Do. Your. Damn. Job.
Enough holding the country hostage to the will of this baby, pretend president's ego! This wall has NOTHING to do with the tens of millions of Americans' lives the shutdown is effecting.
Stop playing politics with people’s livelihoods and our country’s economic stability! Reopen, argue the merits of a wall vs other security later. And Mcconnell should be removed as senate majority leader.
If that guy has not caught a hint by now; maybe it should not be president!? There is no need for funding systems to keep agencies going, just open the government. The wall is just a distraction...
There’s still some of the $20bn border security budget left from LAST year, not to mention the $21.5bn allotted for 2019.
We need to spend that money on common sense solutions that use TECHNOLOGY to secure the border. The wall is a dumb idea. It’s become nothing but a political battle. It’s not about border security. It’s about Trump and his supporters desperately needing a “win”.
I’m not paying one penny for a border wall.
Border Security before anything. Democrats are to blame for the partial shut down and for destroying America. Shameful.
This is the Trump McConnell shut down the house has been voting to open the government all along but McConnell will not bring the bills to the floor the Republicans do not know how to govern or to take care of the people that work
OPEN THE GOVERNMENT AND DO THE WORK OF THE PEOPLE. If certain people want the wall let them pay for it themselves. That is a personal project and nothing to do with the republic.
Not sure why my Representative voted against this bill except to put party over workers and country.
A majority of Americans oppose the wall. Provide funding to open the government and pay federal workers about whom Trump and Mitch obviously don’t care.
People need to be able to go back to work. People are struggling to put food on the table for their families. They need to open the government.
