Chip Roy: “That is what is going to occur. My fellow citizens back home in Texas…”

On the recordMarch 18, 2021

That is what is going to occur. My fellow citizens back home in Texas and Americans, when those numbers go down in facilities, don't kid yourselves; illegal immigration will continue. They will be catching and releasing illegal immigrants. They will be dropping numbers down at facilities. They will close the FEMA facility in Midland. We will have as much illegal immigration as we have right now, and the other side will claim: Oh, the crisis is going down. That is what is coming at us. And today, we are passing amnesty instead of securing the border of the United States. {time} 1445
