The border crisis ‘is ten times worse than most Americans think’

August 16, 2021

WASHINGTON —Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) recently joined Harris Faulkner on The Faulkner Focus to discuss how President Biden's border crisis has reached record levels and its severe impact on Texas communities.

Full length of the interview can be found here and some key quotes are below:

  • Secretary Mayorkas, President Biden, and obviously Vice President Harris are completely MIA and I think, frankly, it's purposeful. They're purposefully ignoring their duty to defend the borders of the United States.
  • Where is AOC? Where are all the cries about kids in cages that we heard two years ago? Where are all the cries about, allegedly, kids drinking out of toilets? Which, by the way, was all untrue, those were lies.
  • We've got a massive problem at our border, where you've got these facilities that are overrun with thousands of people in places meant for hundreds.
  • The American people are in danger. The migrants are in danger. We are allowing narcotics, we are allowing drugs to flow into our communities. We have individuals- children- who are dying because they have Xanax laced with fentanyl, we have gang activity, we have cartel activity, cartels now have full operational control of the border.
  • It is ten times worse than most Americans think in our communities, where we're dealing with it every single day.
  • We've had enough of it and the Secretary needs to go and the President needs to go after him if he won't do his job.
