Texas Congressman Chip Roy released new data this week highlighting the growing chaos occurring along the US-Mexico border, confirming more than 200,000 migrants illegally entered the United States in the month of July.
“[It's the] largest monthly encounter number since 2000. Total is bigger than every full-year total since FY21,” Roy posted on Twitter.
“Now, take that and factor this in: CBP agents and officers have seized more than 8,500 lbs of fentanyl during the first 9 months of FY21[.] That's not only an increase of 234% year over year[.] It's enough to kill everyone in America five times over, (since 2mg can be fatal),” he added.
“Add in the fact that we know that cartels and coyotes use and ‘recycle’ children to abuse our asylum system[.] Add in the fact that we know that cartels are making millions per day in human and sex trafficking off this administration," wrote the lawmaker. "It's only going to get worse with this crisis,”
“It's time to draw a line in the sand, for the sake of our country, our communities, our kids, and those who seek to come here. It’s time to impeach @SecMayorkas for failing to uphold immigration law, enforce Title 42, and secure our border,” he concluded.
