Chip Roy U.S. House of Representatives from Texas's 21st district | Official U.S. House Headshot
On Wednesday, Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) authored an op-ed on Breitbart urging the Senate to pass the SAVE Act.
Some key quotes from Representative Roy are below, and the article can be found at the link here.
“The threat of both non-citizens voting and a lame duck session is why the House Freedom Caucus is in the historically unique position of formally pushing for a continuing resolution into 2025 with the SAVE Act attached.”
“I understand the desire to dig in and pass single subject appropriations bills that contain conservative policy riders…but the time for the House to pass and force the Senate to take up strong full-year appropriations bills has come and gone… we simply will not pass the seven remaining appropriations bills and then negotiate with the Senate, which hasn’t passed a single appropriations measure for fiscal year 2025, before September 30.”
“Instead of giving Democrats and big-spending Republicans exactly what they want, we should demand that we avoid a lame duck spending Christmas tree. We should force Democrats to explain their opposition to common sense proof of citizenship requirements, given that over 80 percent of Americans support them!”
