Rep. Chip Roy, currently serving Texas' 21st district in the U.S. Congress, has shared a series of tweets addressing various policy issues. Representing his constituents since 2019, Roy's posts cover topics ranging from voting rights to labor markets and budget resolutions.

On March 5, 2025, Rep. Roy criticized the pro-sanctuary mayor of Chicago for supporting non-citizens voting in local elections. He emphasized that "Congress MUST work to prevent non-citizens from voting in federal elections" and called for the passage of the #SAVEACT, highlighting this stance in his tweet "The pro-sanctuary mayor of Chicago SUPPORTS non-citizens voting in local elections."

Later that day, on March 5, 2025, he expressed support for worksite enforcement as a means to protect American workers. In his words: "Good. America is NOT a cheap labor market." He stated that such measures help "the forgotten American worker obtain jobs, better wages, and working conditions."

In another post on March 6, 2025, Rep. Roy outlined priorities within the House Budget Resolution. His tweet emphasized three key areas: cutting spending, securing the border, and modernizing the military while urging Congress to deliver on these commitments.
