Democrats and
Republicans are working to try to reach a deal on border security in order to
avoid another government shutdown. The main issues being looked at by both
sides are the detention of undocumented immigrants and funding for President
Donald Trump's border wall with Mexico. The last government shutdown lasted 35
days which was the longest in US history. Congress has until February 15th to
pass legislation before the current federal funding agreement ends. The
shutdown's cost to the US economy was estimated at $11 billion.
