Roy (R-TX) 9/16/26: X-post w/ video clip – “Congress must PAUSE all immigration until we: -Reverse Plyler v. Doe -Terminate automatic citizenship -End chain migration and the Diversity Visa Program -Prohibit the entry of Sharia law adherents and Chinese communists -Bar illegals from accessing welfare benefits like SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare, etc… -Overhaul the H-1B visa”
Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Within the 30-day lookback window, Roy was still publicly calling for an H-1B overhaul rather than pointing to completed enactment.
As such, I respectfully request clarity and a detailed accounting of the following questions by September 3, 2026:
Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): In the lookback window, Roy pursued oversight of H-1B use by Texas State University, showing continued effort but not a federal pause, repeal, or enacted overhaul.
Mr. Roy (for himself and Mr. Crane) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): Roy introduced a bill to reform the H-1B process, but the official record shows referral to committee rather than enactment.
To reform the H-1B process, and for other purposes.
Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): The bill text directly targets H-1B reform, matching the overhaul portion of the commitment as a legislative attempt.
no alien may be issued a visa or provided any status under the immigration laws
Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): Roy's PAUSE Act proposed a broad visa/status moratorium that would include H-1B visas, but it remained a proposal rather than enacted law.
The new H-1B selection process prioritizes allocating visas to higher-skilled and higher-paid aliens to better protect the wages, working conditions, and job opportunities of American workers.
Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): USCIS implemented a wage-weighted H-1B selection change, supporting a partial federal overhaul of the program while also showing the program continued rather than being paused or repealed.
