President Donald Trump's proposed wall on the Mexico border, they say.
The reported $1 trillion deal (£770bn) needs to be approved by lawmakers.

On Friday Congress approved a stop-gap spending bill that averted a government shutdown at midnight on that day.

Lawmakers are expected to vote on the package in the coming days, the Associated Press reports.
