Fox News’ Harris Faulkner pressed Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy on Thursday to reveal which Republicans are holding out on impeaching Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas.

Roy grilled Mayorkas on Wednesday about past testimony in which Mayorkas said the administration had “operational control” over the border. Roy asked Mayorkas if he was lying.

Roy told Harris the Biden administration has left Texas “stranded” amid a fentanyl and smuggling crisis.

“In the case of Alejandro Mayokas, he lied to us under oath in the Judiciary Committee stating that he had operational control of the border, smirking when he said it. He said it over and over and over again. I showed him that yesterday and read through the testimony. He had no response except to say ‘you didn’t give me time.’ That wasn’t true as the record shows,” Roy said.

“So every Republican should be on notice that they shouldn’t hide behind the Constitution, they should actually enforce the Constitution in this case and use the tools the Founders gave us, that James Madison wrote about in Federalist 58. It is time to remove Alejandro Mayokas. More than that it is now time to not give a single dollar in the appropriations process or to continuing resolution to the Department of Homeland Security until they pass H.R. 2, remove Mayokas and pay back Texas for the 10 billion dollars Texas has had to spend because the feds won’t do it,” he continued.

WATCH:

“Again I ask the question, are you any closer to impeaching Mayokas?” Faulkner pressed. “And would you need more than the majority you have right now among Republicans in the House to start the House portion of that?”

“More Republicans have come to the the understanding and realization that he has committed high crimes and misdemeanors–”

“Who doesn’t think that among Republicans?” Faulkner interjected.

“There are a handful who are still holding on to an outdated perspective and hiding behind the Constitution rather than enforcing it. So we’re gonna go forward, the numbers are getting close, but the main thing to remember is I am going to throw every ounce of my being to stop any continuing resolution and any funding of the Department of Homeland Security. Our leadership, Republicans, should be on notice. This is not going to go easily. We are going to secure the border or damn well grind this place to a halt until they do,” Roy replied.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
