Texas Congressman Chip Roy is back at it again, this time with a bill so petty in its naming convention that you almost have to respect the craftsmanship. As The American Tribune reported, Roy has introduced the MAMDANI Act, a piece of legislation designed to denaturalize and deport aliens who belong to socialist, communist, Chinese Communist, or Islamic fundamentalist parties, or who advocate for those ideologies. And yes, the bill is named after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, because apparently naming legislation after your political opponents is the new frontier of congressional shade.
According to Breitbart News, Roy's office provided a one-page summary that specifically calls out Mamdani by name, stating that "the very presence of Zohran Mamdani and those like him who champion Marxist ideologies" illustrates how the immigration system "enables the mass importation of Marxists and Islamists." That is one way to welcome someone to the mayor's office.
The bill would also establish formal definitions for terms like socialism, communism, Marxism, and Islamic fundamentalism, and would repeal what Roy's office describes as loopholes including chain migration and fraudulent claims that exist in current immigration law.
"Why do we continue to import people who hate us?" Roy asked in a press release. He went on to say that "not just for the last six years, but for the last 60 years, our immigration system has been cynically used to disadvantage American workers' competitiveness in favor of mass-importing the third world. This has not just led to higher crime and lower wages, but also the promulgation of hostile ideologies fundamentally opposed to American values."
Roy also framed the legislation as targeting what he called the "Red-Green Alliance," saying it "deploys new tools to fight back against the Marxist and Islamist advance that has devastated Europe and has now arrived on our doorstep, especially in my home state of Texas."
Grant Newman, Director of Government Relations at the Immigration Accountability Project, threw his support behind the bill with a statement that read: "Admission to the United States is a privilege, not a right. We have absolutely no obligation to open our doors to aliens who seek to undermine the Constitution, dismantle our republic, or champion ideologies fundamentally opposed to American liberties."
This is not Roy's first rodeo on the ideological immigration front. Back in October 2025, he introduced the Preserving a Sharia-Free America Act, which would ban foreign nationals who observe Sharia law from entering or remaining in the country. At the time, Roy argued that Sharia law is not compatible with "our Judeo-Christian-founded Western civilization laws" and warned that without action, the U.S. could face conditions similar to those in parts of Europe.
Say what you will about Chip Roy, but the man commits to a theme. Most congresspeople just name bills with forced acronyms that spell out words like FREEDOM or SHIELD. Roy named his bill after a sitting mayor he considers a walking example of the problem. That is a level of legislative trolling that belongs in a textbook.
