Now sure how I feel about this. A "compromise" appeared to be going along nicely. Trump was even willing to forgo the "wall" and they were all gonna go for some advanced technology fencing. But the Dems just kept wanting more and more, and then I started seeing last night that the talks were going downhill. They just don't want to let this go anywhere - and we all know its because it was a promise of his. So now they would rather not appropriately protect America, so they can play political games. I would have been cool with a compromise down the middle. Now I REALLY hope he goes the emergence route, or the left will try to screw this 100% if they can.

'Illegals over Americans': Border wall talks crumble as Trump eyes emergency declaration
Border wall negotiations on Capitol Hill crumbled over the weekend, increasing the chances President Donald Trump declares a national emergency Friday, three sources close to the process tell The Daily Caller.
The negotiations stalled over a Democratic demand that detention bed funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to house detained illegal immigrants be reduced in exchange for border wall funding. Lead Republican negotiator Sen. Richard Shelby told Fox News Sunday that the chances of a deal are “50/50,” after expressing optimism on Thursday.
An administration source directly involved in the process told the Caller that Trump began speaking more about declaring a national emergency Sunday after nearly a week of expressing optimism that the congressional talks could bear fruit. Trump also tweeted to that effect Sunday afternoon:

Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said he “absolutely cannot” rule out a shutdown on Fox News Sunday, later saying on NBC News that Trump is “going to do whatever he legally can to secure the border.”
