An Angry Chip Roy Makes Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas Very Aware of His Failure at the Border – Opinion

Republican Texas Representative Chip Roy expressed anger at the atrocities occurring in Texas because the federal government is refusing the job of protecting the people and its borders. This is why he is openly expressing his dismay.

That’s why during a House Judiciary Committee hearing that happened on Thursday, Roy brought some visual aids to show Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas just what happens when you don’t secure the border.

Spoiler: It’s a lot of death and destruction.

“Mr. Secretary, do you know what this is?” began Roy as he held up a picture of a truck. “This is a mobile morgue, a body trailer needed by counties in south Texas overwhelmed by dead migrants.”

“That particular trailer is filled with these bodies,” continued Roy, showing a picture of stacked bodies in the back of the truck. “Twenty-seven bodies that were stored in this mobile morgue in south Texas with dead bodies of migrants. This dead body was found three weeks ago on a South Texas ranch. It is a migrant. Somehow that’s compassion.”

He wasn’t done.

“How about the dead bodies found by migrants? Compassion? How about the ranchers, who had to walk out of their door and this is what they faced, gentleman with rocks threatening a rancher in south Texas, only able to be saved when they are able to bring their dogs out to scare the people away in order to save themselves,” said Roy holding up more photos.

“How about the little girl here with a brand on her arm, a little girl with a brand on her arm because of your policies?” he said. “A little girl here in the desert found by ranchers trying to save their life. How about those who are dying of fentanyl poisoning, the thousands of Americans that have died from it? Faces, faces of Americans, faces of Americans across this country dying because of fentanyl pouring into our country because of your policies that you know full well.”

The committee chair tried to shut Roy down as his time ran out but Roy wasn’t deterred and continued past the banging of the gavel and complaints from the chair.

“You’re encouraging cartels, encouraging people to come here, harming Texas and harming this country. You know it and you’re ignoring the actual truth!” said Roy.

Roy wasn’t the only one to go full bore into Mayorkas. The New York Post reported that Ken Buck, a Colorado Republican, told Mayorkas that his constituent sees him as an enemy of the country.

“My constituents want you impeached because they believe you’ve committed treason,” said Buck. “They compare you to Benedict Arnold. It is not common for Arnold’s parents to name their child Benedict. They wonder what will the Mayorkas family do down the road.”

Republicans have been waging a war against the White House, who wants to repeal Title 42 that allows border agents to deport or turn away migrants. Three states filed lawsuits against Biden’s administration. This lawsuit is expected to be won by the states, something that has been confirmed by the White House.
