Rep. Chip Roy: Senate Foreign Aid Bill Will Be ‘Dead’ When It Gets to the House
EXCERPT:
ROY: “Since when do we have economic development that is being driven by funding war overseas? That’s what’s happening in the U.S. Senate, because anybody that’s sane and sees what’s happening at our southern border would know that you cannot fund foreign wars while our border is wide open and exposed to criminals and lawlessness and terrorists that are coming across the border. We’re still feeling it in Texas, even though, thanks to Governor Abbott and those that have been fighting down in Eagle Pass, most of the numbers are now heading to Arizona and California. But this is an ongoing problem. You know, 7,000 crossed the other day, 139 of them were Chinese foreign nationals. That’s where the priority of the American people is. That’s where my priority is. And I think that is where the priority is for Speaker Mike Johnson. He was pretty clear yesterday, that this abomination of a bill that came out of the Senate, that those 22 Republicans should not have voted for, that that bill will be dead when it comes to the House.”
