Republican and Democratic lawmakers couldn't overcome a dispute about the number of detention beds that would be funded and the negotiations on spending on border security ground to a halt, the domestic media reported on Sunday. Quoting unnamed people with knowledge of the situation, they noted the deadline before a possible government shutdown is February 15.

The issue is part of a comprehensive plan and the members of Congress wouldn't proceed with provisions for other expenditure and the wall proposed by United States President Donald Trump to be built on the border with Mexico, according to insiders. The surprising freeze, which is said to have started yesterday, comes after numerous optimistic statements by the people involved.

The opposition demands limits on the number of people the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can hold in exchange for any funding for a physical barrier. Some of the sources said the committee may turn to temporary funding legislation again.

Are they offering the wall in exchange for limiting the number of people that ICE can hold at any given time?! Did I just read that correctly? Am I in an alternate universe or something?

Articles says "any funding." Dems offered 1.3 - 1.6 bil for "fencing" before the shutdown so it's the same offer. They want less detention beds and they want no "fencing" for the National Butterfly Center in Texas.

According to the yahoo article:

Quote:
There are currently 40,520 ICE immigration detention beds funded by Congress. Heading into the talks, the White House sought to increase the number to 52,000, while Democrats wanted a reduction to 35,520. Democrats have proposed a 16,500 cap on beds to be used for interior enforcement, with the rest to be used for those captured at the border, according to people familiar with the talks.

no.. we need something new, dont want another shutdown

Trump should declare a national emergency so it sets a precedent.

so if a Democratic President wins in 2020 or in the future,
He/She can declare a national emergency over Climate Change, Dreamers, or any other shit democrats want.
