A group of conservative House members is urging President Trump to use executive power to build a barrier along the southern border if he feels it is necessary to support the bipartisan border deal slated to be voted on Thursday evening.

The conservative lawmakers argue it does not provide enough funding to secure the border.

“Thank you for your leadership efforts to protect our border. The conference committee deal is bad,” the letter reads. “It will not secure the border and will allow criminally violent aliens to be released into our country. And, in fact, there may be additional problems with the proposed ‘deal.’"

The group urged the president to declare a national emergency to secure additional funds, allowing him to utilize emergency military construction authority and “provide support for the counterdrug activities or activities to counter transnational organized crime” by building the wall.

“If you feel the need to sign the legislation we also urge you to immediately use your authority pursuant to Title X, Sections 284 and 2808, to access funds to begin building a much-needed border wall,” they continued.

“We support your use of the authority delegated to you as President by the United States Congress to use federal funds to protect the American people.”

The 1,159-page bill was released just before midnight on Wednesday. The House is slated to vote on it Thursday evening after its expected passage in the upper chamber.
