in a medium sauce pot heat the oil then add the flour and stir the rue. 
add the garlic & jalapeño and stir the rue for a few minutes. 

add the milk/ water and stir the rue till smooth and thickening starts, lower the heat and add the rotel & velveeta.
stir till incorporated. 

add the rest of the cheese and stir till smooth.

add green onions and turn the heat down. 

you can serve immediately in a small bowl/ place into a crockpot to keep warm/ cool down and reheat to use.
be mindful of keeping the heat low to medium - high heat causes the cheese to get stringy. 

bon appetit
