As a national issue, deporting people who should by rights be citizens and have known no other country than ours, many of whom are parents of actual American citizens, children, citizens, who might not even know Spanish, that's a minor issue?

Compared to a government shutdown? Yes, very much a minor issue.
Like I said, important in it's own right, but not in comparison to this.
