Congressman Brad Knott, who represents North Carolina’s 13th Congressional District, recently shared a series of statements on social media addressing national security concerns, agricultural policy, and immigration issues.
On July 20, 2025, Knott posted: “The Democrats’ open border policies under Biden-Harris were a key component of the Chinese Communist Party’s strategy to enter and undermine the U.S. From delivering the fentanyl epidemic to establishing black market operations in our communities, we must continue to identify https://t.co/pMyLW2rWHv” He attributed recent security threats and drug trafficking problems to what he described as lenient border policies during the Biden-Harris administration.
The following day, July 21, 2025, Knott shifted focus to local agriculture: “Farmers in #NC13 are some of the finest in the world. It is an honor to work on their behalf in Congress. The One Big Beautiful Bill DELIVERS for NC farmers. https://t.co/l7Cv1gg2IN” In this message, he praised North Carolina’s farmers and highlighted legislative efforts aimed at supporting them.
Later on July 21, 2025, Knott addressed crime and immigration enforcement: “Another avoidable tragedy. Mass illegal migration harms all Americans. In NY, a law enforcement hero working to protect our country is shot in the face by a PREVIOUSLY deported illegal alien. This is disgusting. Mass deportations must continue in earnest. Punishment without https://t.co/Bs14sjKMpd”
These statements come amid ongoing debates about border security and drug trafficking between the United States and China. Experts have noted that Chinese criminal organizations have played significant roles in supplying precursor chemicals for fentanyl production used by Mexican cartels smuggling drugs into the U.S., contributing to rising overdose deaths across the nation.
Knott’s advocacy for North Carolina agriculture aligns with broader legislative efforts to support American farmers through new farm bills that provide subsidies and protections against international competition.
The issue of crimes involving previously deported individuals has been cited frequently by lawmakers calling for stricter immigration enforcement measures.
