EXCERPT:
ROY: “First of all, the reality is the backdrop here is really important. We have Ukraine funding, as a big part of this $118 billion bill, $60 billion for Ukraine, as well as some other foreign aid, None of which is paid for. And then, you slap in $20 billion of border funding, tied to legislation that we find to be problematic. We find it to be problematic on multiple levels. We believe that it is perpetuating the mass migration that this administration has been advancing under Secretary Mayorkas, and under President Biden. We see that in the numbers, we see that in what we’re looking at, when we look at the bill. $4 billion to hire asylum officers, to basically process people that — these are not going to be conservative hires, right? They’re working closely hand-in-hand, with the United Nations NGOs, speaking about another $1.4 billion to NGOs, who have been running people up through the southern border. And to then put this sort of magical trigger at 5,000, which is basically about a 1.8 million number for the year. And I know they say that’s encounters. But the fact is Mayorkas has been releasing about 85 percent to 90 percent of these folks into the country. We’re getting hammered in Texas. This is not going to solve the problem. And by the way, on the political front, I think, you know, and the viewers of this show, know, I mean, it’s not like I was, running around stumping for President Trump out, in Iowa, earlier this last month.”
