Lawmakers heading to funding deal with far less border money than Trump wants

https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/08/politics/donald-trump-border-funding-lawmakers/index.html]

The latest proposals peg the topline funding number for border barriers around $2 billion, according to two people familiar with the talks. That number is far below the $5.7 billion that Trump has requested and repeatedly described as the number he wants met.

SORRY THAT'S STILL TOO MUCH!
