As House Republicans failed Tuesday evening in a vote to impeach Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, two staunch conservative representatives from Texas pushed back against former President Donald Trump's claims that reforming the US-Mexico border is easy.
"We're not going to just pass the buck and say that, 'Oh, any president could walk in and secure the border,'" Roy said.
"I saw former President Trump make that allegation earlier today on one of his social media posts.
But his attempts to halt illegal immigration via a border wall and other means didn't work.
"Why didn't Trump just shut down the border if you just think we don't need any changes to law?"
