Not sure I follow, who's hiring more people? Yes, I suppose it puts an extra burden on the police to make sure no one is jumping the barricades. Then again, they're likely to be called when there's trouble anyway, even on a normal day.
There's probably a little bit of politicking, as well. Barriers and "closed" signs on all of the national monuments makes a pretty powerful statement, and hopefully puts some additional pressure on Congress to get their act together. It's a shit sandwich all around, no matter how you cut it.
