The USCIS had hoped the Covid package would serve as a vehicle to approve an emergency bailout to address the agency’s budget shortfall but after two weeks of negotiations on the stimulus package, talks in Congress broke down as Democrats and the White House blamed each other for the stalemate.
Earlier this month, the USCIS notified about two-thirds of its employees that they would be furloughed starting August 30th because of budget shortfalls, which the agency hoped Congress would fill in its next relief package before negotiations stalled recently. As I reported previously, a shut down of the immigration system would negatively impact: families, U.S. businesses, educational institutions, medical facilities, and churches.

I’m still looking for the downside to this.
It’s bad news that there will be nobody working on getting this country’s 30 million wetbacks back to the Third World cesspools from which they came.
I remember the quote, but I thought it was from Mark Twain.
Good. Saves American jobs from Indians. Indians already screaming about this on Reddit and Twitter, about their entitlement to US jobs.
Nope..first time for me as well. I think we ought to cut Congressional salaries.
So much for the good news...
13,400 employees?
Seems like they are not essential
Trumps fault
No deal will be had
“...and churches”
WHY? Since when did ‘churches’ get mixed up with US immigration policy?

That’s a win in my book, shut immigration down for about 10 years with vigorous interior enforcement.
Oh yes they are since CBP is part of Homeland Security.
No thinly veiled political bias demonstrated there by ms spooner.

What’s not to like about this?
“Since when did ‘churches’ get mixed up with US immigration policy?”
It’s a big money maker for Catholic charities (and some Protestant). They handle relocation and Uncle Sugar uses our tax dollars to pay for it. Been doing for 40+ years.
A few worthwhile (e.g. South Vietnamese that fled here with the fall of Saigon to avoid genocide).
Put the remaining third, Deporting the Hell out of Illegals.
