    What would happen if all border guards just said “Well, I’m not getting paid, I’m not going to work.” and just left the gates open? 🤔 I think that would solve the shutdown real quick!

      As a practical matter, it would mean international flights to the US are halted. If you will recall the last time there was a shutdown and it appeared that TSA agents were going to walk off the job due to not being paid, they reached an agreement to end the shutdown pretty quickly.
