Rep. Roy: Cartels have 'operational control' of border, Kamala Harris has done 'nothing'
Roy filed a discharge petition to resume Trump-era border restrictions
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas., discusses the impact of drug, human smugglers on southern border states.
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas., said Wednesday that the Biden administration and congressional Democrats "refuse to do anything" as cartels have taken "operational control" of the southern border.
CHIP ROY: Cartels have operational control of our border. Period. Anybody who’s following it knows that. Tamaulipas, the state right across the border from Texas is run by the dangerous cartels, the Reynosa faction of the Gulf Cartel and the Cartel del Noreste of Los Zetas. They are using human beings as shields for profit. They’re moving people into Texas, into our communities, into San Antonio, which I represent. We’ve stopped vehicles with human beings that are being sent to stash houses in Houston to be used for profit and human trafficking and sex trafficking...
This is happening in the most powerful nation in the world. We're allowing this to occur and Democrats refuse to do anything about it. Kamala Harris has been on the job for a month. Literally. She has done nothing. She's not gone to the border. She's done nothing to address this.

Well, Mr. Roy...
Texas has a National Guard.
Texas has the Texas Rangers.
Texas has a large number of weapons-owning "citizen militiamen" who can be organized and deployed.
With all these resources at-hand, what are you gonna do about it...?

A Congressman does not have the authority to call out the National Guard, that's the Governor's purview.
A Congressman does not have the authority to call out the Texas Rangers (the cops, not the baseball team).
Nobody has the authority to order a private militia to police anything.
What's he going to do? Complain, and that's about it.
