As the Thursday deadline quickly approaches, Congress has yet to pass a bill that will keep the funding for the United States government going which means that the nation could be facing yet another government shutdown.
The recent executive action on immigration taken by President Barack Obama has left many in the Republican party looking for a way to lash back or somehow undo the actions taken, and many are pushing to take this opportunity to do just that. However, it could spell big trouble for the nation and all those depending on government funds to keep going with business as usual.
