In a recent interview, Texas Republican Congressman Chip Roy voiced his concerns about the influx of migrants crossing the border and the lack of action taken by the Biden administration to address the issue. Congressman Roy emphasized the alarming statistic that the migrant release rate is above 85%, meaning that the majority of apprehended migrants are being released into the country. He pointed out that this release rate, combined with an estimated 50,000 monthly 'gotaways,' is putting a significant strain on Texas, which has had to allocate $12.5 billion of state funds to address the situation.
Congressman Roy criticized Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security, for blaming Texas and challenging the state's efforts to defend itself. He called for accountability, highlighting that Mayorkas is failing in his duty to secure the border and faithfully execute the laws. Roy expressed his support for impeaching Mayorkas, echoing his previous calls for impeachment and outlining the reasons why he believes it to be a necessary measure.
