'We are getting absolutely inundated and this administration doesn’t seem to care, and they’re trying to say that they should be able to release people into the United States without a notice to appear in court? It’s absolutely insane.'
On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” Rep. Chip Roy argued that House Republicans should force through the border bill just passed by the House using either the budget or the debt ceiling increase.
Roy said, “We are getting absolutely inundated and this administration doesn’t seem to care, and they’re trying to say that they should be able to release people into the United States without a notice to appear in court? It’s absolutely insane. They have the power to stop this, but they refuse to. Thankfully, in the House of Representatives today, we passed legislation to force the hand of the administration to do the right thing.
Host Laura Ingraham then asked if some Republicans in the Senate might not support the bill. Roy responded that that isn’t the question, “The question is whether Republicans will force, through the power of the purse, the question of whether we must secure the border.” He added, “We need to use the debt ceiling. And let me be just very clear, don’t expect my vote to be guaranteed right now on any debt ceiling or any spending bill unless we’re dealing with the border. … This bill was a historic bill. We need to hold their feet to the fire, just like we’re doing with the debt ceiling. Republicans are united in the House and we’re changing the game.”
