Rep. Chip Roy

Which means what?

Which means we have to start making decisions in Texas.

about saying look maybe we have to start thinking about who's coming into texas from minnesota like we have to start deciding how are we going to protect our people in the state of texas if the other states if the other leaders in this country are going to thwart the federal government's ability and the federal government's duty

to keep us safe and secure.

Remember, it was Democrats, these same Democrats that said, oh, you guys just have to deal with wide open borders, which was lawlessness.

And the state of Texas being told, well, you've just got to deal with literally hundreds of thousands of people flooding into your state.

Now they want to have the other argument, which is now we're going to thwart enforcement so that you, the people of Texas, have to be put in danger because we refuse to secure the state of Minnesota or any other state that has a similar track record.

So if they're going to upend the rule of law, then we, the people of Texas, and as leaders in Texas, are going to have to make decisions about what are we going to do to protect our own people.

So that would raise those questions.

Where are you coming from?

Why are you coming into the state of Texas?

And where are you from?

And whether or not they should be coming into the state of Texas.

Look, I have said and the Freedom Caucus yesterday said in the letter we put out that we believe that the president would be well within his rights to invoke the Insurrection Act, which dates back over 200 years, for justice purpose to make sure that we can stop this interference.

By the way, we can use any number of federal laws, from obstruction of justice to specific laws on the books that can be enforced against people interfering with carrying out law enforcement.

But again, I just want to remind you, Glenn, I mean, because

And I don't want to speak for you, but I suspect we're simpatico here, that we do not like the raw power of the federal government being used to come into state.

I'm not looking to go empower massive federal law enforcement individuals.

That's not how I'm wired, and I don't think that's good.

In this case, the sovereignty of the nation and our ability to, what I said before, I know it's somewhat controversial, our ability to exist as a nation, okay, and to unite requires us to stop the madness and to stop the lack of enforcement of the law.
