Rep. Roy on The Joe Pags Show: ‘Texas is going to have to step up because we are being abandoned by the Federal Government’

WASHINGTON—On Wednesday, while Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) was at the southern border, he appeared on The Joe Pags Show to discuss how Biden's reckless open-borders policies are driving this crisis, provoking a rise in transnational crime, and undermining American sovereignty.

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

• The former president did wonders to secure the border of the United States, working with limited resources by a hostile Democrat Congress that refused to help him, while screaming, "kids in cages," taking arrows the whole time. And many of us were in there, in the trenches, in the Oversight Committee and Judiciary Committee, Homeland Security Committee trying to fight to help the administration and do everything we could- and we got a lot of miles of fence built and we used Title 42 to try to stem the tide of the pandemic flow.
  
  
• The fentanyl numbers are off the charts, the cartels have operational control of the border from the Gulf of Mexico to Big Bend and truly they're endangering people as we speak.
  
  
• Texas is going to have to step up because we are being abandoned by the Federal Government.
