Patrick Leahy noted that the sides worked on contract until late in the night and, eventually, came to a mutual agreement regarding the funding of programs to improve safety on the southern border of the United States.
According to preliminary data, the new project provides for allocation of $1.4 billion to build a complex system of barriers on the border with Mexico, with a total length of 88.5 km of the item on financing of the so-called Wall of trump in this agreement are not available. This was the principled position of the Democratic party, said Patrick Leahy.
If the Congress will not be able to secure an agreement before the end of this week, the us government again faces a partial shutdown.

The reason for the imposition of the shutdown was the refusal of the Democratic party to Fund the Wall of trump, on which the President had requested $5 billion.
