ICYMI: ‘No more words’ Congress must ACT to end border crisis

WASHINGTON - Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) joined Fox News Channel's Hannity to discuss the recent cartel kidnapping and killings of American citizens in Matamoros, Mexico and the out-of-control state of our Southern Border.

Key quotes from the interview are below and the full interview can be found here.

• "As sad as it is today, with the tragic loss of these lives, what about the 72,000 dead Americans from fentanyl poisoning in the last fiscal year? What about the four families that lost their kids in Hays County, Texas, where I live, to fentanyl poisoning? What about the almost 1,000 dead migrants found on Texas ranches or in the Rio Grande River? Or the 53 who died in a tractor trailer in the Texas heat last August? Where's this administration's compassion?"
  
• "No more words. Republicans ought to hold the line on this. We ought to designate [cartels] as terrorists, and we ought to withhold funding until we get this administration to do their job to secure the border."
  
• "What we've got now is 'encounter and release' as the official policy of the United States because of Joe Biden. And as a result, Americans are dying, and migrants are dying. We could solve it tomorrow. I have legislation, H.R. 29, which would simply say, once you've got somebody, you've got to detain them to adjudicate an asylum claim, or you got to turn them away."
  
• "The American people have demanded that we do something about this. We should use the power of the purse to force the change to secure the border of the United States."
