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.
