Chip \u2062Roy Calls for\u2064 Accountability\u2062 from DHS Secretary Alejandro \u200bMayorkas<\/h2>\n<p>During a recent interview with News Nation, Rep.\u2064 Chip Roy (R-TX) expressed his determination \u2063to\u200b hold Department of Homeland Security\u200c Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas accountable. Roy emphasized\u2064 that he would not simply \u2064&#8221;give him a blank check&#8221; and \u200chighlighted his concerns about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-n-peacekeepers-killed-in-central-african-republic-before-election\/\" title=\"U.N. peacekeepers killed in Central African Republic before election\">security situation<\/a> along the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>According to \u200dRoy, \u2063Mayorkas has \u2064been dishonest\u200c about the state\u200b of security and Texas \u200cis facing constant threats. The congressman shared distressing \u200bstories\u2064 he\u200d receives \u2064regularly about migrant\u200b children being held\u2062 in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ghislaine-maxwell-has-final-pretrial-hearing\/\" title=\"Ghislaine Maxwell has final pretrial hearing\">sex trafficking operations<\/a>. He also revealed that six \u200cchildren in his school district have\u2064 tragically lost their \u2064lives due to fentanyl \u200dpoisoning.<\/p>\n<h3>Republican Debate: Can the Debates\u200c Help Winnow the GOP Field?<\/h3>\n<p>Asserting the importance of responsibility, Roy stated, &#8220;What we&#8217;re talking about\u200b is saying if you want funding,\u2062 do your damn job.&#8221; He emphasized that the\u2064 House \u2062of Representatives holds the power of the purse \u2064and questioned\u2064 why \u200che should allocate more\u200d funds to Mayorkas, whom he\u2062 accused of\u2064 lying \u200dunder\u2064 oath\u200d and neglecting the \u200bsafety \u2064of \u200cTexans.<\/p>\n<p>Roy clarified that he would provide funding to\u2062 the Department of \u2062Homeland Security but with conditions.\u2064 He intends to &#8220;attach strings&#8221; to the funding, urging Mayorkas to fulfill his duties.\u200c The congressman stressed that the Republican Party cannot campaign\u2063 on border security\u200b and then neglect\u200c their core responsibility of utilizing their power \u2063of the purse to drive the desired changes within the administration.<\/p>\n<p>In a &#8220;Dear\u2063 Colleague&#8221; letter earlier this month, Roy outlined \u2062a series of demands that\u200b must\u2062 be met for him to support legislation funding DHS or\u200c vote for\u200b a\u200c continuing resolution. These \u2063demands\u2064 primarily focus on tightening \u2063security at the \u200bsouthern border, which Roy considers a &#8220;national crisis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mayorkas \u2062has faced criticism from conservatives and Republican\u200d lawmakers \u200bfor his \u200chandling of the border situation. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) even accused\u200d him of\u200b &#8220;doing the bidding&#8221; of Mexican drug \u200bcartels.<\/p>\n<p>On August 16, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) \u2062summoned Mayorkas to appear on \u2062Capitol Hill in\u200d October for a hearing on border security. The hearing will specifically examine the actions and policies implemented since January 2021\u200c and \u2062their impact \u2063on the border \u2064and \u200dthe country as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>House \u2064Republicans initiated \u200ban investigation\u200b in June to \u200ddetermine whether Mayorkas neglected his duties during\u2064 the border crisis,\u200b which has seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/not-going-to-give-him-a-blank-check-chip-roy-tells-mayorkas-to-do-your-job\/\" title=\"'No blank check for you': Chip Roy urges Mayorkas to 'do your job'\">approximately \u200d7\u2062 million noncitizens attempting<\/a> to enter the country unlawfully.
