Rep. Chip Roy, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 21st district, shared several tweets on January 22, 2025, addressing various political issues. The tweets reflect his stance on birthright citizenship and criticisms of the Biden administration's handling of border policies.

In a tweet posted at 16:00 UTC, Rep. Chip Roy urged readers to "Read the report for yourself," providing a link to an unspecified report ("Read the report for yourself").

Later that day at 16:37 UTC, he addressed the topic of birthright citizenship by stating "There's significant and ample evidence — with what we understand about birthright citizenship — that 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' does NOT mean that you have a right to citizenship simply for being on our soil and being born on our soil." He provided additional information through a link included in his tweet.

At 17:43 UTC, Rep. Roy criticized the Biden administration's border policies, expressing concerns over their impact. He tweeted "Never again should any American, any Texan, any Georgian, have to deal with what was thrust upon them by the Biden administration in terms of the damage, despair, death, destruction, murders, rapes that were perpetrated [bc of the border crisis]". Further details were offered via a link related to the Laken Riley Act.
