If everything goes according to plan today, a bipartisan border security and spending package bill will be voted on by the House and Senate and then be on President Trump’s desk by tonight.
The President says he’ll sign it (and avert another partial government shutdown), but he’s changed his mind at the last minute in the past in these situations, so nothing is really certain until he puts pen to paper.
The bill includes $1.375 billion for barriers and fencing on parts of the US-Mexico border, far short of the $5.7 billion Trump originally sought for a wall. You can read the bill here.
