They are working but not getting paid. and you can imagine the morale situation in a prison.- a correctional institution where the guards are not getting paid. but in fact the prisoners are because the prison work program is getting paid. It is an unstable equilibrium. Twenty thousand visas are given to come to the United States a day in our foreign embassies. They have not been given out for the last 20 days. 400.000 visas. Now. I am glad that my colleague from Florida is standing because it affects his district as much as it affects mine. We have the good fortune of living in south Florida. where people from around the country and around the world visit. Every one of those people who is not getting a visa is dollars lost to our communities. The actual outofpocket payment that we are losing is over $40 million a day of taxpayers money of outofpocket costs for taxpayers of this country. Over the 20day period. close to a billion dollars has been lost by taxpayers in this country.
