Rep. Chip Roy Press Office has used social media to address concerns about immigration policy, the U visa program, and national security in a series of posts made on May 5 and 6, 2026.
On May 5, Rep. Roy stated, “We need to make sure we’re protecting American workers. Make sure American citizens have a shot at jobs. Stop importing people here who don’t share our values.” @bennyjohnson.
The following day, the office addressed issues with the U visa program: “The U visa program isn’t working—it’s being exploited. Rep. Roy’s End U Visa Abuse Act would end the abuse by repealing it, which would curb incentives for illegal immigration and reinforce the rule of law.”
Later on May 6, another post read: “We’ve imported 5.5 million people into the United States from majority Muslim countries since 9/11. That’s a suicide pact. That’s just stupid.”
