WASHINGTON – Arguing that President Donald Trump must "come to his senses,"House Democrats offered a plan Monday to end the government shutdown and give Congress more time to negotiate a deal with the White House over border funding.

The plan includes full-year funding for shuttered departments except for the Department of Homeland Security. It also calls for temporary funding for DHS through Feb. 8, putting off for several weeks the major sticking point that caused the shutdown.

Funding for the Department of Homeland Security sits at the center of the ongoing impasse between the White House and congressional Democrats that has led to a partial government shutdown, now in its second week. Trump has sought additional money for a border wall, and Democrats have balked at the idea.

“While President Trump drags the nation into Week Two of the Trump Shutdown and sits in the White House and tweets, without offering any plan that can pass both chambers of Congress, Democrats are taking action to lead our country out of this mess," House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said in a joint statement.

Whether the idea could gain traction depends on how Trump reacts, officials in both parties said. Don Stewart, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, stressed that, "the Senate is not going to send something to the president that he won’t sign."

Trump hunkered down in the White House on New Year's Eve, blaming Democrats for the budget impasse that centers on his demands that a bill to keep government agencies funded also include money for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. It's unclear whether the White House would accept the House Democratic proposal, which was first reported by The Washington Post.

"Democrats, come back from vacation now and give us the votes necessary for Border Security, including the Wall," Trump tweeted on Monday.

A senior White House official said the administration won't comment publicly on the plan until officials can see it.

No meetings are scheduled between the two sides.

"Our negotiations are at an impasse at the moment," said Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, speaking on CBS' "Face The Nation." "I wish it were not so. But we've got to move away from the blame game."

Trump, meanwhile, pushed back on comments from former chief of staff John Kelly that the administration long ago abandoned plans for an all concrete wall on the Mexican border, saying some parts will be steel slat fencing.

"Some areas will be all concrete but the experts at Border Patrol prefer a Wall that is see through (thereby making it possible to see what is happening on both sides)," Trump tweeted. "Makes sense to me!"

Trump has refused to sign any kind of spending bill that does not include more than $5 billion for the wall and border security measures. The last spending bill expired at midnight Dec. 21, starting the latest shutdown of certain government agencies.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who had lunch with Trump on Sunday at the White House, pushed an idea that he said could be the basis for a compromise. He suggested that Democrats sign off on $5 billion for "border security-slash-wall" in exchange for an agreement by Republicans to help young immigrants known as "Dreamers" who were brought to the country illegally by their parents.

"I don't see Democrats giving us more money, unless they get something," Graham told reporters at the White House.

He added that Trump seemed "open-minded" about such a deal but did not commit to it.

In a series of tweets over the weekend, Trump maintained his demand for a border wall, calling it essential for border security.

Democrats call the wall a waste of time and money, and said personnel and technology were better ways to address border security. They have highlighted Trump's statement earlier this month that he would be more than willing to shut down the government over a border wall.
