Some Democrats have said they’re open to money for new border fencing, which may satisfy Trump’s demand. Details have yet to be resolved, and a deal could hinge on the type of fencing and how many miles would be funded.
Another negotiator, second-ranking Senate Democrat Dick Durbin, said disaster aid is also an important part of the discussions. Democrats are seeking money for hurricane-damaged areas including Puerto Rico and Florida.
Senator Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, a GOP negotiator on the panel, said lawmakers are making progress.
“We’re moving in the right direction,” she said. “We don’t have it nailed down for sure, but I think everyone is remaining pretty positive.”
She said she thinks negotiations over a border barrier are “down to how much and where.”
The discussions are focusing on increased funds for border barriers, technology and agents, lawmakers have said. While Trump is seeking $5.7 billion for a wall, lawmakers are discussing the use of existing styles of fencing, and Democrats are seeking money to upgrade ports of entry and to hire more immigration judges.

the committee supposedly has access to the people that know this first-hand and briefed Pelosi in the Situ room and she ignored.

I have not a fricking clue! I came upon it by accident one day and thought it was so far beyond bizarre that I had to use it on TD
It looks like some piece of shite liberal art though. You can see the tape marking the barrier and people in the background most likely observing how brilliant it is

It's some sort of "art", some guy created it to represent a human/animal hybrid. You can see people standing in the background, it was some sort of weirdo exhibit in a museum.

IF there's no wall funding, shut that MFer down again
It's worrisome to me that all the positive quotes seem to be from the Senate side, while the House is Dem-controlled and must approve of the deal as well.

Look at old school Shelby riding in out of nowhere to save the day.
