Shortly after taking the oath of office, President Donald Trump (R) issued a series of executive orders targeting immigration reform and signaling a dramatic change in border security and immigration policy.
The executive orders have drawn widespread condemnation from Democrats, but Republicans like Texas Rep. Chip Roy (R) are welcoming the orders with open arms and a breath of fresh air.
On social media, Rep. Roy shared a series of posts on X, praising President Trump and supporting his actions such as reinstating Title 42 and the Remain in Mexico policy, ending the CBP One app, designating drug cartels as terrorist organizations, and attempting to end birthright citizenship.

Rep. Roy also emphasized the importance of congressional action, calling on his colleagues to follow in the president’s lead and support his efforts to ensure border security reforms endure.
