Of course, this will never pass, as anything produced will require a handful of democrat votes, and they don't seem to care about re-opening or not.

Senate Republicans Introduce Bill To Reopen Government As Shutdown Hits 32nd Day
Senate Republicans are releasing a bill to reopen the government. The legislation relates with the president’s proposal he unveiled in his address Saturday, which calls for $5.7 billion for a physical barrier at the southern border and funding for nine closed government agencies.
It also grants a three-year extension for DACA recipients and those under temporary protective status. A plan to ease the asylum process for Central American migrants is also included.
During his address, the president called on lawmakers to support this proposal, so the 32-day long shutdown can come to an end.
“I want this to end, and end now. These are not talking points, these are the heartbreaking realities that hurt American families every day on both sides of the border. As a candidate for president, I promised I would fix this crisis, and I intend to keep that promise one way or another.” — President Donald Trump
Senate Republicans said they plan to vote on the bill this week, however, no Democrats have voiced their support for the legislation.
Meanwhile, Democrat Senator Joe Manchin remains on the fence about the president proposal to end the shutdown despite his initial optimism about the deal. On Monday, a spokesperson for the West Virginia lawmaker said Manchin is waiting to see the final draft of the proposal before making a decision.
This comes after Manchin tweeted on Saturday, saying he was looking forward to working with both sides to make the immigration reforms proposed by President Trump happen. However, Democrat leadership has since slammed the plan as a non-starter.
