\"4-March\"<\/a> The Department of Homeland Security stands threatened. It could run out of money if legal workers do not reach some kind of understanding by the end of the week.<\/p>\n

Although most DHS workers will stay on the job the biggest hit will be the low level workers, and they might see paycheck delays if Congress would not reach an agreement by the end of the week.<\/p>\n
