Sources tell CNN that House Republican leaders are sending their members home for the week as a government shutdown appears increasingly likely. Lawmakers have yet to reach a deal to extend government funding past the critical deadline at the end of the month. House GOP members had planned to work through the weekend to pass a stop-gap bill to fund the government but that strategy is now on hold because of infighting and holdouts within the House Republican conference. Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell tells AC360 it's time for House GOP members to choose "competence over chaos" and keep the government funded. Plus, CNN Senior National Correspondent Ed Lavandera joins AC360 from Eagle Pass, Texas where there's been a surge of migrants crossing the Southern border.
