In the survey, 66 percent of respondents said they are either “very” or “somewhat” concerned over the shutdown, while 34 percent said they are “not too” or “not at all” concerned.

I don’t think this administration plans stuff out that much, I think they did that just to burn up as much of the taxpayer money they got given in Trump’s budget bill as quickly as possible.
Also, I just did some quick searching on that and it seems like they only started saying they’d do that sign on bonus at the very end of July, so a) not confirmed anyone’s actually gotten it yet, b) what about all the ICE agents who started before this bonus?
You’re right. I’m giving the clowns too much credit.
