Rep. Chip Roy

I want to give the president power to do the right thing, but I don't agree that we should not be blind.

Like here, I'm sorry, that we shouldn't be blind.

Well, this was one that has flown under the radar for a lot of people.

And, you know, my staff has been working on this for about six months, just, you know, we knew it existed, but, you know, I didn't really dive into it.

We had a case in Austin where one of our citizens here, not my constituent, but very close, real nice guy, and he was a victim of being targeted by an illegal alien

for a false accusation of crime.

And that was done so that that individual, the illegal alien, could claim status and get a U visa to stay in the United States as a crime victim.

And this is the problem.

It's a perverse incentive.

And there are other pieces, other statutes or other laws that give people the ability to stay here if, for example, they're a witness to crime.

Say you're an illegal alien and you know about a gang member, cartel, fentanyl, and you're coming in as a witness to say, hey, these bad guys are doing X, Y, Z. We've got provisions in the law for them to be able to stay an extended period or get a visa for a period of time.

So there's no real need for this, by the way.

But it was created in a do-gooder kind of huddled masses approach that you just described.

And so now we've got thousands of cases where people are trying to apply to these U visas.

And we've had numerous examples of fraud that are uncovered by the inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security, who, by the way, Inspector General Kufari has been a rock star, a champion all through the Biden years.

He was getting targeted, harassed.

They tried to fire him because he was exposing all of the horrors under Alejandro Mayorkas in the Biden administration.

He's still doing a great job over there identifying some of these programs that are ripe for abuse because Congress is always passing laws and creating new programs that can ultimately be abused.

Yes, unequivocally.

And I'll tell you how, unless you want to go to your second question first.
