Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy raised concerns over why his state should remain in the union if it will not receive support to secure the southern border during a recent interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“Every state in the union should send resources to the state of Texas to help us secure the border,” he told the DCNF, “because dadgummit Texas is going to secure this border if the United States of America is failing to uphold its end of the bargain of our having a union.”
“I’ve got people in Texas that are starting to rattle about ‘what are we getting out of this equation? What are we getting out of being a part of a union that won’t secure its own border?’” Roy told the DCNF. “You know what — it’s our border, too.”
Roy emphasized how Texas has “a duty as a state, as a sovereign people, to defend ourselves.”
“This is pure John Locke kind of stuff,” he told the DCNF. “The first duty of government — to secure the people” and to “take care of our communities.”
