Chip Roy (R-TX) claimed Monday that the Biden administration is contributing to the border crisis and turning the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) into \u201ca welcome mat\u201d for illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with Fox News host Harris Faulkner from a full migrant facility in Carizzo Springs, Texas, Roy laid blame for the worsening border crisis on President Joe Biden. \u201cThere\u2019s one thing that\u2019s changed in the last couple months, and it\u2019s the incoming Biden administration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re at capacity as of tonight,\u201d Roy said of the facility, which he explained was replete with migrant children who have COVID-19. \u201cThis is all the result of a wide-open borders policy by the Biden administration, failure to finish the fence, but most importantly, they\u2019re basically turning DHS into a welcome mat. And they\u2019re just encouraging more dangerous journeys for kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roy went on to explain that \u201cthe dirty little secret\u201d of what\u2019s going on at the border is that with the facilities bursting at the seams, an increasing number of these young migrants will be released into the United States, which he said endangers U.S. citizens and migrants alike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmericans are in danger, immigrants are in danger, and it\u2019s the Biden administration\u2019s fault, all for crass political purposes,\u201d Roy said.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to Faulkner\u2019s observation that the&nbsp;Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/dhs-finally-admits-record-surge-at-southern-border-enlists-fema-to-detain-children\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">getting involved<\/a> at the border indicates the situation is literally \u201ca disaster,\u201d Roy agreed, saying, \u201cHarris, you just hit the nail on the head, right? I love how the administration has for weeks been saying there\u2019s no crisis, there\u2019s no emergency. Now they\u2019re going to Midland, Texas, which is miles away from the border, to open up a facility being run by FEMA to be able to deal with the overflow of these kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis facility\u2019s going to be full,\u201d Roy said, indicating behind him. \u201cNow they got to figure out where to move kids to. And yes, we\u2019ve got a significant number of children and adults who are positive for COVID.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roy added that, while the Trump administration attempted to \u201chold the line,\u201d the Biden administration is attempting to \u201copen up the floodgates even further\u201d to migrants despite the health risks.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.3170731707317\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;They&#8217;re basically turning DHS into a welcome mat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rep.
