What Republicans have come out and said they don't support the Bill specifically just because they don't want to help Biden? Everyone who has bothered to read the bill has been extremely harsh about it. Far from securing our border, it opens it up. Rather than appropriating funding for something like a wall or increased security on the border, or even the military, it gifts more to Ukraine and Israel than to our own military. Here, take a look yourself, see if this is something you, personally, could support in good conscience:

but as the very ransom Republicans had demanded in holding Ukraine aid hostage in exchange for more stringent immigration policies. "We actually locked arms together and said, 'We’re not going to give money for this. We want a change in law,’" Lankford told Fox News Sunday last week. "It’s interesting a few months later," he added, "when we’re finally getting to the end, they’re like, 'Oh, just kidding, I actually don’t want a change in law because it's a presidential election year.’"

Johnson is one to talk about "good faith." For years, he and Republicans like him have been demanding laws—that is, congressional action, not the executive orders they’re calling on Biden to issue now—to tighten security at the border, as the Washington Post’s Aaron Blake pointed out Wednesday. Even Trump—Mr. Build The Wall himself—claimed as president that the "long term" responsibility for the border rested with Congress. "Democrats must change our immigration laws right now," he said in 2019 when his opponents controlled the lower chamber. Now that there’s a Democrat in the White House, though, the responsibility appears to have shifted.
