Chip Roy Takes AOC to School on Border Issues
Texas Congressman Chip Roy wants to set the record straight on what’s taking place at the Southern border.
Since Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez caused a huge media uproar about the conditions of migrants at detention centers at the border, immigration quickly came back to the spotlight.
However, Congressman Roy has a different take on the situation.
In a tweet, Roy said “I’ve been to the border multiple times.”
And unlike AOC, he’s isn’t putting on “a show for the media.”

Roy has made several visits to the border, and based on his experience, he does not share the view that the detention centers are the second coming of Nazi concentration camps.
But he does understand the bigger picture—the U.S. government is failing to secure the border.
Since he was elected in 2018, Roy has been one of the fiercest proponents of border security in Congress.
He recognizes what’s going on at the border, especially the influx of criminal elements such as drug cartels.
In fact, BLP reported on Roy’s efforts to designate drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
He believes such organizations should be designated as FTOs “because of their particularly violent actions and intentional strategies to affect the political system. These cartels push for an anarchic form of government which allows them to skirt laws and push their terrorist model without any legal ramifications.”
These specific factions were chosen “because of their particularly violent actions and intentional strategies to affect the political system. These cartels push for an anarchic form of government which allows them to skirt laws and push their terrorist model without any legal ramifications.”
Roy singles out AOC for her recent demagoguery on the issue.
Indeed, there is a crisis at the border, but it’s for different reasons.
It has nothing to do with “Holocaust” like treatment of refugees but rather a broken immigration system that encourages mass migration from the Third World while not providing adequate protection from the very real threats south of the border.
But this debate goes beyond border crossings. The mass migration to citizenship pipeline presents a legitimate threat to U.S. political and social institutions. Europe is already overrun with ethnic ghettoes thanks to its mass migration policies, which has sparked a populist backlash across the continent.
The U.S. could suffer a similar fate given Third World migrants’ tendency of bloc voting for leftist parties.
For that reason, immigration is the number #1 issue heading into election season.
Roy should be commended for his efforts to bring some sanity into the immigration discussion.
The time for emotional pandering is over.
On June 30, 2020, congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that New York City’s budget cuts to the police department were not sufficiently adequate, declaring that “defunding police means defunding police.”
“Defunding police means defunding police. It does not mean budget tricks or funny math. It does not mean moving school police officers from the NYPD budget to the Department of Education’s budget so the exact same police remain in schools,” the congresswoman remarked in a statement.
The defund the police meme has caused some debate in Democrat circles. Some Democrats believe that the phrase shouldn’t be taken literally and is only a slogan for police reforms.
“It does not mean counting overtime cuts as cuts, even as NYPD ignores every attempt by City Council to curb overtime spending and overspends on overtime anyways,” Ocasio-Cortez added. “If these reports are accurate, then these proposed ‘cuts’ to the NYPD budget are a disingenuous illusion. This is not a victory. The fight to defund policing continues.”
On June 30, the New York City Council and Mayor Bill de Blasio came to a deal to slash $1 billion from the NYPD’s $6 billion budget.
“We’re acting on that call for justice. I believe it is our mission to redistribute resources to those who need them the most,” de Blasio stated, “This is real redistribution.”
Activists that agree with AOC’s radical anti-cop reforms said they won’t put up with any plan that merely reallocates money and does nothing to substantially gut police departments.
“No funny math. No budget musical chairs,” radical anti-law enforcement activists said in a letter on June 30 to the mayor and council. “We’ll know if you fought for our communities or whether you will let the NYPD continue to be treated as if they’re above the law, even in the budget.”
New York City is currently suffering from a $9 billion shortfall in revenue due to the Wuhan virus shutdowns.
New York is already an anti-gun state, with a ranking of 51st place according to Guns & Ammo magazine.
Defunding the police will only make New York City less secure and leave New Yorkers with virtually no options left for security.
