Deal Appears to be Reached to Avoid Federal Government Shutdown

It looks like a deal is close on the budget, with a “down payment” on the U.S./Mexico border wall.  And President Trump just may sign the bill despite not being “happy” with it.  Here is a discussion of the somewhat messy compromise process.  The deal includes $1.375 for the border barrier structures and an increase in Department of Homeland Security funding.  Perhaps we will avoid a border another shutdown?
