Appearing on FNC’s “Special Report,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) says the so-called border bill being considered on Capitol Hill is a terrible bill and why it was vetoed by him and his House Republican colleagues. explained.
The Texas Republican said the bill “accepts the premise of mass immigration.”
“First of all, HR-2 makes no sense because we thoughtfully put this bill together to actually stop abuses by the executive branch just to get people into the United States.” body,” he said. “They are effectively using asylum and parole as loopholes, and they are also using loopholes created by judges to deport people to the United States. These provisions aren’t going to do that job. In fact, they’re going to set aside $4 billion to hire a bunch of so-called asylum workers, and they’re going to rubber stamp up to 5,000 applications, and they’re going to multiply that by That adds up to up to 1.8 million. Now I know they call this an encounter. I heard Sen. Sinema say, well, that’s an exaggeration. It’s just an encounter.”
“But Mayorkas has released 85% of everyone he brought in,” Roy continued. “And the small changes they’ve made on asylum don’t change that. Meanwhile, they’ve funded $1.4 billion to NGOs working directly with the United Nations to bring people to Mexico.” So they’re not going to do anything. By the way, we’re sending lawyers to unaccompanied children. Unaccompanied children are not included in the total 5,000 number, so they’re not going to do anything. It’s become a magnet for cartels to continue abusing children. This is the least effective bill imaginable. When you get here you’ll see they’re dead. They want this as a cover for not doing their job. They want to point at us and say, “Oh, they just wasted our big bill.” But it’s not the bill the American people want because it doesn’t work. It accepts the premise of mass immigration. ”
