According to this article, this could have far reaching effect on the NNSA.
Quote from article:
"As the government shutdown has persisted with no end in sight, NNSA has had to acknowledge that its funds are beginning to run out"

Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Voted for what, not to give health care to illegal aliens? Voted to remove ~20 million illegal aliens from the USA?
Sure, THEY are the cause of this. Right.
CA willingly became Tijuana North. Don’t expect the rest of the Country to bail you out of your OWN choices. CA is defying federal law. Getting scary folks. No joke.
How would this decimate the labs?
Also any lab person that voted, can be considered as someone who "voted" for this since both sides are involved for the shutdown.
What is you point?
Illegal aliens pay taxes and are NOT eligible for benefits like the ACA, Medicare, Medicaid.

Puleeeze - enough with the misinformation!
Just to be clear whole lot of Illegal aliens do not pay taxes, I mean a lot, as they are paid under the table. Who knows what the number is but some estimates are up to 50% or more. You have to be pretty naive to not know this. This is of course part of the reason it is worth it for them to come to the US for low wages as they get more bang for their buck since they do not pay anything for their wages. This has always been the case.
"ACA, Medicare, Medicaid."
I have less knowledge of this, there is some fraud in this area as well, but the reality is that they do in fact get lots of free health care. They simply go to the hospital get treatment and never pay. There is no way to get them to pay as they are not even in the systems. Again I am surprised you did not know this.
Also to be clear there are some US citizens than get paid under the table, and never pay their hospitable bills as well.
Before you say I am anti-immigrant, I am not I simply want a good system that would allow guest workers to come in a legal way since there lots of jobs they do and we need. I just do not like the off the wall NPR talking points that get repeated that are just nonsense.
Also the claim that illegals commit less crime than US citizens is beyond wrong and easy to debunk by simply looking at the US prison populations. This is easy to understand as lots of illegal aliens are in the US to make money specially in crime, because as it turns out like most other work, crime pays better in the US than many other countries.
