Rep. Roy on Fox and Friends: “Cartels aren’t just happening at the border, they’re happening in your communities”

WASHINGTON- On Tuesday, following the release of their joint op-ed in National Review, Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) and Kendall County, Texas district attorney Nicole Bishop, joined Fox and Friends to discuss how Biden's border policies have empowered cartels to expand operations into our suburban communities, threatening our national security and public safety.

Some key quotes from Congressman Roy are below and footage of the remarks can be found at the link here:

• What the administration is doing is embarrassing and worse than that- it's endangering Texans. I want all the folks that I represent in Texas and everybody else watching this around the country to know that cartels aren't just happening at the border, they're happening in your communities.
• We've got a thirteen hundred mile border, as you know, between Texas and Mexico. We've read all the stories of 300 people being burned, buried in these big burial pits, bodies being hung from bridges, people getting beheaded, lives being threatened. That's happening across the border and guess what- it's coming into America, y'all.
• I guarantee you, right now, there are cars moving, not just narcotics, but human beings for profit. And right now the Biden administration doesn't care. You need to care because it's coming into your communities.

Some key quotes from Kendall County, Texas district attorney Nicole Bishop are below:

• This isn't a border issue, this is a cartel issue. We are under attack.
• What's happening is [cartels] are making more money in the flesh trade right now, than they are on drugs.
• What I can't understand is how this is not the front page and first news story of everything… It's being completely ignored.
• As a former prosecutor, I would love for Kamala Harris to come down here and look at these people who are being victimized.

BACKGROUND:

Congressman Roy has been a persistent opponent of the anti-borders policies driving this this crisis and empowering cartels. Most recently, he filed a discharge petition on Rep. Yvette Herrell's bill to reinstate the Trump administration's Title 42 COVID protocols at the border and introduced legislation to designate cartels at Foreign Terror Organizations under federal law.
