'Yes Or No?': Chip Roy Explodes At Witness While Talking About Border Security And Immigration

[0:00] I thank the chairman. Appreciate it holding this hearing. Mr. Coleman, the individual who struck [0:15] your daughter was here in the United States illegally and had been released by the Biden [0:22] administration. Is that correct? That is correct, yes. So the individual entered the United States [0:28] illegally and then was released by the Biden administration. Correct. And then ultimately [0:34] was licensed to drive a commercial vehicle that then struck your daughter, harmed your daughter, [0:42] leaving her and your family dealing with the consequences. Those are the facts, correct? Correct. [0:48] Ms. Fox, the individual that caused harm to your family was entered the United States also illegally, [0:59] correct? Correct. Was released by the Biden administration, correct? Correct. Onto the [1:05] streets. Yes. Given a license and then caused the harm that your family had to deal with. Is that [1:15] correct? She didn't have a license. She could have gotten a license. Unlicensed, even worse, correct? [1:22] She chose to break the law. Mr. Beer, should those individuals have been in the United States, [1:31] yes or no? We should have a legal way to vet them. Should those individuals have been in the United [1:39] States, yes or no? We should allow people to have a legal. Not people, those two. Mr. Beer, [1:44] those two individuals. They should have been vetted. They should have been screened. Should the screened [1:48] for what? Screened for what? Those two individuals were in the United States illegally and then released. [1:55] Should they have come into the United States and been here? The idea that we should be deporting [1:58] people who had no involvement in these activities. So you're fine. You're fine with the two individuals [2:03] released by the Biden administration on the streets of the United States who were able to carry out and [2:07] engage in this activity that resulted in the death and destruction and the maiming of the American [2:11] people that we're just seeing right here. The witnesses to your left and right. I didn't say [2:14] that. I said there should be a process. You're totally fine with that. Right. Well, you refused to say [2:18] that those two individuals shouldn't have been here. That's your position. There should be a legal way. [2:22] Should people be able to come into the United States from anywhere in the world? Yes or no? [2:28] Should they be able to come and walk across our border? There should be a process for people to come [2:30] to the United States legally from anywhere in the world. There should be able to come in legally. Mr. Beer, [2:35] should they be able to walk across the border and come into the United States without regard to our [2:40] visas and our laws? Yes or no? No, we should have a legal way for people to come. So all right, [2:44] to be clear, I want to be clear for Mr. Beer in the position of the Cato Institute, [2:48] this should be very clear. Then there should be border security and people should not be allowed to come [2:53] into the United States. Of course there should be border security. I've never said there shouldn't be [2:56] border security. Now, should people be released by the administration when they, once they're here [3:00] illegally, they're captured, they're, they're, they're in the control of the administration, [3:04] the government, should they be released into the United States as was done under the Biden [3:09] administration? There should be a legal way. Should they be released when they're caught illegally in [3:14] the United States? Should they be released? Well, it depends on the circumstances, sir. It depends on [3:19] their current circumstances. So some should be released. Ms. Fox, when people come here illegally, [3:23] should they be released onto the streets? No. Mr. Coleman, when people come here illegally, [3:28] should they be released on the streets? No. Sheriff Goller, when people come here illegally [3:34] and they're apprehended, should they be released onto the streets of the United States as was done [3:38] in the form of millions of people under the previous administration, resulting in the death, [3:42] maiming and destruction of people in the United States? Should they be released? I would certainly [3:47] say that shows a complete disregard for our nation's laws and no. Another question. We're here [3:53] talking about sanctuary cities and we're talking about policies of continuing to perpetuate those who are [3:57] legally present in the United States that cause harm to Americans. Mr. Coleman, do you think that we [4:04] could do a better job of preventing even having sanctuary cities in the first place if we were to [4:11] make permanent and codify the kinds of border securities policies that the current administration [4:17] are deploying to stop the flow of people across our border? 100 percent, yes. So when this body, [4:22] this committee passed legislation in July to permanently codify the Trump border policies [4:28] that reflects what we did in H.R. 2 in the previous Congress to say that asylum and parole should not [4:34] be abused to release people into the United States, that the Democrat witness says it's perfectly fine to [4:39] release people into the United States who come here illegally, you agree we should make that permanent [4:44] and codify it so we don't have people coming in illegally who endanger American citizens? Correct, yes. [4:50] Sheriff Goller, do you agree we should make that permanent? I do. Ms. Fox, do you agree that we [4:55] should make that permanent and codify it so people are not released into the United States against our [4:59] laws to endanger the American people? I do. God bless you, Ms. Fox. God bless you, Mr. Coleman. I am sorry [5:05] that our country has let you down and that you have had to suffer the consequences of what the previous [5:10] administration and our colleagues on the other side of the aisle callously allow to occur, including the [5:14] witnesses they invite. And Sheriff Goller, thank you and all of the law enforcement who stand up and defend this [5:19] country every single day. God bless you.
