I don't think so many Republicans would be going around saying that there will be a big fight on wall funding after the election (clearly a shared talking point), if it wasn't already agreed to behind the scenes.
It think they have cut deals with a few Democrat Senators, but have to make it look hard, to give them political cover, and wait till after the election.
Even $1.6 billion per year is pretty good in historical terms (about 100 miles of very good permanent barrier). When it ramps up to $5 billion per year, it becomes a pretty high intensity construction effort, and includes a very significant technology effort for the big wide open areas as well.

“But right after the election we're doing something very strong on the wall.
It would have been nice if something strong could have been done on the wall before the election, while the GOP controls the White House and both the House of Representatives and the Senate. If the Democrats take the House, nothing will be done on the wall.

Pleeeeeease. These repukis allowed and funded O’muslim’s fundamental transformation of America. 9 trillion extra debt, rule of law dead, and illegals swarming America.
Now they’re struggling to find a few billion dollars for the wall? These POS need to be brought to justice.

I can’t see Flake voting for immigration control, particularly a wall. I assume McConnell feels he can keep Murkowski, Collins, and other weak-kneed Repuke senators onboard so that Pence could be the tie breaker, but it would be close.
