Chip Roy, currently serving as a U.S. Congressman representing Texas' 21st district, has recently made several statements on social media regarding national fiscal policy and border security issues. These posts highlight his perspectives on government spending, immigration policies, and support for first responders.

On March 4, 2025, Rep. Roy commented on the president's intentions regarding budget cuts. He stated that he believes "it is clear that the president, right now, has every intention to go find those cuts that we need to put in place... I think we’re in a better place if we freeze spending and give him the power to do that." The full post can be viewed here.

Later that day, Rep. Roy addressed concerns over immigration and border security through another tweet. He claimed that President Biden released an illegal alien into the United States who was later arrested for attempting to breach a military base and subsequently released again after being arrested. Rep. Roy emphasized his stance with "SECURE THE BORDER + DEPORT." The original tweet is available here.
