So it looks like this issue is going to get dragged on for awhile (unless something happens within the next 2 weeks) or until Hanen / SC gets involved. Even then, Congress might not pass anything because one party will ask for too much for a compromised to be reached.

Semantics; he gets money but not for his wall prototypes that he erected in San Diego. The fencing that is being erected just expands a little on what previous presidents have started. Democrats also do it to show they are for alternative, effective forms of border security without giving him that stupid wall.
Trump may spin it as money for the wall, but his educated supporters know that is bullshit. So, it may seem like he is getting what he wants--but not really. No wall money; no changes to asylum law. We don't get anything either.
The only people who believe that the wall is being built are idiots who live in an alternate universe.
