GOP Rep. Williams on Border Crisis: Biden Administration 'Has a Dereliction of Duty'

Thursday on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX) hit President Joe Biden and his administration over their handling of the ongoing border crisis.

According to Williams, the administration “has a dereliction of duty” at the border. He argued that “it’s a real problem.”

“We had almost 2 million [apprehensions] this past year, and the way we’re going, we’re going to have 2 million more,” Williams asserted. “It’s hard to say why this administration wants to do this. I mean, we’re sending young men and women all over the world, but we’re not sending them to our border. We need people to come through the ports of entry — not between the ports of entry — realize the American Dream the right way. But when we start letting people in based on … warrants, I mean, my gosh, nobody hardly believes that when they begin to hear that.”

“So, this administration has a dereliction of duty, and it’s a real problem,” he continued. “And the problem, Maria, is nobody wants to admit it. You’ve got to come down here to see it. It’s like a movie picture when you see the way the Border Patrol is treated and the wall and everything else. Nobody can believe it. We need to adhere to the law.”
