Chip Roy (R) said that Texans are beginning to question whether being a part of the United States is worth the illegal immigration crisis currently playing out on the U.S. southern border.<\/p>\n<p>Roy relayed the feelings of his constituents during an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/25\/chip-roy-southern-border-kamala-harris-texas\/\">The Daily Caller News Foundation<\/a> on Friday. Roy also said that every state should be answering Texas\u2019 call to aid it and secure the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery state in the union should send resources to the state of Texas to help us secure the border 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,\u201d Roy said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got people in Texas that are starting to rattle about \u2018what are we getting out of this equation? What are we getting out of being a part of a union that won\u2019t secure its own border?\u2019\u201d he continued. \u201cYou know what \u2014 it\u2019s our border, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Texas has \u201ca duty as a state, as a sovereign people, to defend ourselves,\u201d Roy said. \u201cThe first duty of government \u2014 to secure the people\u201d and to \u201ctake care of our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey sent out a joint letter on June 10 requesting aid from governors of the other 48 states in securing the border as the U.S. struggles to contain a flood of illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>Abbott had already declared Texas\u2019 plan to complete the southern border wall, at least along its own southern border. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/arizona-texas-blast-bidens-border-security-request-back-up-from-other-states-amid-crisis\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"31.868941979522\">\n<p><em>\u201cSecuring our border with Mexico is the federal government\u2019s responsibility.
