Not all “essential” workers are the problem....Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Border Patrol, US Marshal Service, ETC...are impacted because they don’t receive pay until this has ended and are still showing up to work busting their asses...so it’s not “all” essential workers..and a lot of CBP are being rotated to the Southern border from all over the US away from their families for 2-3 months at a time and have to wait for their checks..I don’t think people realize some of the sacrifices they do...
