CARL AZUZ: The U.S. Senate votes Thursday on two bills concerning the partial shutdown of the U.S. government. The bill that supported by Republicans would provide the funding for a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico and allows some people who are in the U.S. illegally to stay for three years without the threat of being deported. The bill that's supported by Democrats would fund the government through February 8th but not include the money for the wall. Both bills would end the partial government shutdown but neither is expected to get the 60 votes needed to pass. Still, analysts say the Senate debates could be a step toward ending the deadlock in the government.

It's directly effected 800,000 Federal workers who could miss a second paycheck on Friday though they will be paid when the shutdown ends. It's also led to doubt about the timing and location of President Trump's State of the Union Message which is scheduled for next Tuesday.
