President Donald Trump is planning on a prime-time address on immigration Tuesday night. In his words, he would like to "address the nation on the humanitarian and national security crisis on our southern border." Will the president use tomorrow’s speech to declare some sort of actual national emergency? [There is disagreement]( ) over what powers that may grant him to try to build his steel fence. With no deal to fund the government on the horizon, this coming Friday [will mean a missed paycheck for many of the 800,000 federal workers.]( ) Many families don't have the ability to miss a pay period. MSNBC’s Vaughn Hillyard provided a dispatch for this newsletter: The shutdown is not a political debate among federal workers across the country. Here in southern Colorado, it's a matter of having the cash to pay for groceries, propane, out-of-pocket costs for a tooth crown and covering a mortgage, car payments and home internet. “When you’re trying to raise a family, adjusting isn’t an option," John Butkovich, a correctional officer at the Florence Correctional Facility, told MSNBC. Butkovich, who is raising 16-year-old and 8-year-old sons, is presently working without pay--only assured that his paycheck will come when the shutdown ends. But like Butkovich, other federal workers--from air traffic control specialists to Coast Guard workers and National Forest Service employees--are expressing concern to MSNBC about how they will get by in these next days ahead. President Trump, on Sunday, said those workers would make "adjustments." But the workers insist it's not that easy. "We're people--this isn't a game, right?" said Jeremiah Martinez, a National Forest Service worker in Antonito, CO. "I personally don't care who's right or wrong. We just want to work, pay our bills." Tune in to MSNBC for continuing coverage of the government shutdown, and primetime analysis and fact-checking of President Trump's address Tuesday night.
