Contributing sentiments towards policy:
71% : Democratic senators demanded protections for recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and other immigrants under the DREAM Act.65% : They can delay federal payments, slow public projects, and shake public confidence in government stability.
61% : US government shutdown occurs when federal funding lapses, forcing a full or partial halt of government operations.
58% : HOW SHUTDOWNS WORK The basis for a shutdown stems from the 1884 Antideficiency Act, which since a 1980 interpretation requires the federal government to suspend non-essential operations during a funding gap.
