Grace Meng, a U.S. Congress member representing New York’s 6th district, has recently expressed her concerns over several issues through social media. Her posts have highlighted various executive orders, birthright citizenship, and economic impacts of tariffs.

On February 5, 2025, Meng posted a tweet addressing the community's fear and uncertainty caused by a series of executive orders issued by the administration. She encouraged individuals to share their personal stories about how they might be impacted by these orders. "Share your story The administration has issued a long list of executive orders causing fear & uncertainty in our community. I want to hear how you might be impacted."

Later that day, Meng reaffirmed her stance on birthright citizenship as a constitutional right, which she believes cannot be revoked through an executive order. She commended states and courts for their actions to block what she views as an unconstitutional measure. "Birthright citizenship is a constitutional right. It can't be taken away with the stroke of a pen."

On February 6, 2025, Meng addressed economic concerns related to tariffs imposed on major trading partners. She warned that such tariffs could lead to increased prices on essential goods like gasoline and groceries, potentially resulting in hardships for families in Queens due to a trade war. "Lowering costs is a priority in Queens."
