This is a staff account to provide updates to our constituents in Texas' 21st District.
Rep. Roy Opening Statement: "It's time we meet the moment to overturn Plyler v. Doe. It's time for Congress and the courts to address the glaring failures of this court decision and finally alleviate Texans and Americans alike from this burden."
We're winning the process war on the SAVE America Act—now it's time to win the policy war. On Tuesday, the Senate brought the bill to the floor, which just days ago, skeptics thought was impossible. Now @SenateGOP must force a talking filibuster to exhaust Democrats and get it over the finish line. Stay on the bill as long as possible—don't recess until it's done. Force Democrats to speak and try to defend illegal aliens voting in American elections—they won't last long. America's future depends on it.
A @JudiciaryGOP subcommittee is exploring ways to challenge a 1982 Supreme Court ruling that radically expanded illegal alien’s access to state benefits, writes @pedrobrodrigue7 “These enrollments have cost Texans 1.9 billion dollars, and the United States 78 billion dollars in total," said @RepChipRoy. dailysignal.com/2026/03/18/wil…
It is an honor to introduce the Expedited Transparency Act, which will update late-Senator Coburn’s Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act to require that all disbursements of federal taxpayer dollars be viewable on USASpending.gov within three days. This means that whenever appropriated monies are spent, the agencies will be required to make this disbursement public within three days. Currently, it takes weeks for these disbursements to be made public, furthering the divide between taxpayers and transparency. It is essential that we require rapid transparency, as the longer the delay between disbursement and reporting, the harder it is to demand accountability. Agencies will always seek ways to hide their spending, as evidenced by the major discrepancy in agency reporting: some report in a matter of weeks, some in six months, and some not at all. There must be transparency and accountability, not excuses and delays!! By introducing the Expedited Transparency Act, we are advancing the transparency initiative Dr. Coburn championed with the original measure. I want to thank John Hart, CEO of Open the Books, for allowing us to work on this initiative with him. John was the Communications Director for Dr. Coburn when this initiative was originally passed.
Passing SAVE America shouldn’t be hard It’s not controversial outside of the U.S. Capitol
Senate Democrats want illegals to vote for them. That’s not in the interest of the American people. If we were voting on what’s in the interest of the American people, the vote on the SAVE America Act would be 100-0. Let’s pass it.
We are in the fight of a lifetime. America’s 250th year is not just a celebration. It is a test—of whether we still have the courage to defend the republic we inherited, and whether we still have the will to fight for its future. The Senate must pass the SAVE America Act.
Now with 57 members, Texas leads the nation with the highest number of representatives in the Sharia-Free America Caucus. 16 of us from the Lone Star State are standing united in Congress to defend our constitutional principles against foreign ideologies. DON’T SHARIA OUR TEXAS.
