It's clear Trump plans to "leave the slush fund door open" as Senate Repubs puke over Dem measure to actually KILL it.

The push to pass a $70 billion GOP immigration enforcement bill has temporarily stalled, with Senate GOP leaders stuck in talks with a trio of Republican holdouts who are so far refusing to vote down a Democratic attempt to kill the Trump administration’s controversial “anti-weaponization” fund.

Inside the Senate chamber, Majority Leader John Thune and his deputies have spent much of the last hour on the floor in talks with key Republicans over concerns with how to handle Trump’s fund to compensate people who claim to have been victimized by the federal government. One, Sen. Susan Collins, has already voted with Democrats on the effort. Three others have not yet voted on the Democratic push — forcing leaders to hold up a vote for more than an hour that they’d previously been confident would be defeated.

Those Republicans are Sen. Bill Cassidy — who has become a thorn in Trump’s side since recently losing his primary — and Sens. Dan Sullivan of Alaska and Jon Husted of Ohio, who are both in competitive races.
