"If you asked a Border Patrol [agent] in El Paso, they’re looking for assistance, that we do not detain them because they don’t have the space. They don’t have the personnel," Samaniego said. "I appreciate that but what I would just suggest to you is that that is not a racist statement to say that we think we should secure the border," Roy said.
Roy asked Dunn if he and his wife – who is Hispanic – believe that wanting to secure the border made one racist.
