Congressman Ben Cline, representing Virginia's 6th district since 2019, shared a series of tweets on March 4, 2025. The tweets address issues related to national security and immigration, as well as political developments.

In his first tweet posted at 18:35 UTC, Congressman Cline highlighted concerns over border security by stating, "When we see a staggering amount of poison capable of claiming the lives of 4.8 BILLION people flooding through our southern border in just a single year, it’s abundantly clear: we aren’t just facing an immigration issue. We are confronted with an existential threat to our nation."

Later that evening at 19:42 UTC, he expressed anticipation for President Donald Trump's Joint Address to Congress. He tweeted about looking forward to hearing the President's plans by saying, "I’m looking forward to attending President @realDonaldTrump’s Joint Address to Congress tonight and hearing his bold vision to restore common sense and get our Nation back on track!"

At 21:30 UTC on the same day, Congressman Cline compared the approaches of current President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump regarding border security measures. He stated in his tweet that while Biden claimed he needed congressional support for securing the border, Trump took independent actions resulting in significant outcomes such as increased ICE arrests and reduced illegal crossings. He noted these achievements with specific statistics: "Biden claimed over and over that he couldn’t secure the border without a bill from Congress. President Trump didn’t wait for Congress and here’s what’s already happening: 627% increase in ICE arrests Illegal crossings down 94% Tariffs on Mexico & Canada to stop drugs..."
