Overnight Government Shutdown

This is the second time the U.S. government shuts down the government. The first was for a strategy on immigration and now it was more of an “aimless drift” according to Time's What to Know About the Overnight Government Shutdown article. The goal of the shutdown this time was to seal a deal for “Dreamers” because their protection from deportation expired in March. This was a battle between the Democrats and the Republicans and instead of coming to an accord on that, the idea of shutting the government is what closed the deal. During the government shut down, a two-year $400 billion agreement is the only thing that senate leaders offered to support both parties. As you can see, the goal to help the “Dreamers” is nowhere in that bill. So, was the government shut down helpful?
This is worth reading because it educates readers on what happened during the government shutdown and tells us if it was worth it.
