Republicans support this bill. Trump told a number of Republicans NOT to sign it, because he wants to continue creating problems in order to campaign on hatred.

We don't need a bill. He already has the authority. So, what is he doing?

It notes in the letter why the bill is required, for extra funding and support for patrols, basically an increase in the border security that's already in place. A major budget approval is required by Congress for that. Presidents don't have that kind of role in 'appropriations'. Congress manages appropriations: https://appropriations.house.gov/about

He doesn't use the power he's already been given. What makes you think giving him more power will get utilized toward anything productive. He's just stalling and shifting blame. Some how Trump was able to do it with no more money or resources than Biden has now.

Every resource given is used in the opposite way currently.

NOT True. This is not about Biden, as if he were an evil mastermind who would play politics by trying temporary clown shows with expensive national guard deplyments and standoffs with state national guards. The CURRENT border security obviously requires additional support that will continue for years, not a repurposing of the national guard for nonsense.
