6:02 am
we really have no choice but to build a powerful wall or steel barrier. >> reporter: but the short-term deal, no money for a wall, back pay for federal workers who nd fal paychecks, but nothing cocts. the president also agreed to a bipartisan congressional conference which will try to hammer out a deal on border security. >> are you no longer ruling out any money for the wall? >> wait, wait, have i not been clear on a wall? no, i have been very clear on the wall. >> reporter: but the president has threatened to shut down the government again in three weeks or declare a national emergency if he doesn't get what he wants. the president was facing mounting political and public pressure. federal workers struggling to pay bills in food lines, delays at airports due to unpaid air traffic controllers and tsa agents calling out. more than half of the 26,000 irs workers recalled for the tax season didn't show up to work. >> shutting down the government
6:03 am
over a policy difference is self-defeating. >> reporter: as federal agencies, parks and museums tart to reopen, the president and lawmakers say federal workers will receive that back pay in the coming days. kenneth moton, abc news, washington. >> the president was criticized by some people for allowing the government to reopen without the $5.7 billion for a border wall. last night he tweeted i wish people would read or listen to my words on the border wall. this was in no way a concession. it was taking care of millions of people who were getting badly hurt by the shutdown with the understanding that in 21 days, if no deal is done, it's off to the races. so when will federal workers get paid? former treasury department employees say it likely won't happen until next week. first they'll have to file time cards. agencies will have to approve them and then the treasury department will have to issue the checks. that's unwelcome news for many bay area families who say they're struggling right now. anser hassan has their reaction.
6:04 am

6:05 am
also works for the coast guard. they're behind on bills and used savings to pay rent. across the bay area many coast guard families have turned to food banks and other charities just to meet basic needs, like food. >> do i just hoard these paychecks because i'm nervous. will we be able to pay for our kids' food. >> reporter: some federal workers took advantage of no-interest loans which they were offered which is supposed to be paid back as soon as the government reopens. many now have to figure out with this being just a temporary fix if their loans are due now as well. in the newsroom, abc 7 news. federal workers in the bay area rallied at the oakland airport saying while they're somewhat relieved by yesterday's news, they're still worried about the government shutting down again in three weeks. >> no more shutdown! >> tsa workers, other federal employees and representatives of bay area labor unions called on lawmakers to find a permanent

6:08 am
