WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) - Senators are back in Washington this week, working on a deal that addresses issues at the U.S.-Mexico border and provides funding for Ukraine and Israel.Lawmakers say they are encouraged that a deal can be reached this week but both sides remain far apart on policy changes at the southern border.West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin says this is about addressing current border issues."And this is not immigration reform.
