INTERVIEW | Rep. Chip Roy's Prescription to Secure Border: Use Power of Purse to ‘Bring President to His Knees’

If America’s southern border is to be secured, Congress must “use the power of the purse to bring the president to his knees and [make him] sit at the table,” Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, says. 

President Joe Biden's border policies are enriching China and harming the American people, Roy argues. 

“The fact of the matter is we know that 90% of the precursors or the finished product fentanyl is coming from China,” Roy says, adding that Biden’s border policies are serving China “because they make money on it [and by] giving China a foothold in Mexico.”

Congress should impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and hold him accountable for the crisis at the southern border, Roy says. 

“He lied to us,” Roy says of Mayorkas. “We know that he knew full well that he didn't have operational control [of the border] when he said he did.”

Roy joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the case for impeaching Mayorkas and what Republicans are doing to secure the border.
