Congressman Brad Knott recently shared several views and legislative efforts concerning immigration and illegal activities associated with border security on the X platform. His posts advocate for stringent measures against illegal immigration and the associated criminal activities.

On April 23, 2025, Congressman Knott criticized the Democratic Party for what he perceives as a lenient stance regarding a member of MS-13 from El Salvador being returned to their home country after entering the United States illegally. "Uniformly protesting a confirmed, card-carrying member of MS-13 from El Salvador being returned to El Salvador after ILLEGALLY entering the United States embodies the unfortunate reality of today’s Democratic Party." He urged readers to learn more about Republican Study Committee members' reactions to this issue.

Later that day, Knott highlighted the plight of trafficked victims from Venezuela, underscoring the imperative of securing borders and exacting rigorous penalties against crimes committed by individuals who illegally enter the country. "Officials say victims were trafficked from Venezuela, forced into sex work, and controlled with threats, kidnappings, and violence." Knott advocated for measures to remove illegal entrants and punish them severely.

In another development, he announced he is working on legislation imposing significant prison terms for repeat offenders of illegal immigration who perpetrate violence or harm in the United States. This comment was tied to a report about an illegal immigrant, convicted of killing teenagers, being released early from prison. "Illegal immigrant convicted of killing teens to be released early." The congressman expressed his determination to address issues of repeated illegal entry paired with violent conduct.

Brad Knott's legislative advocacy emerges amidst continued discussions about border security and immigration laws. His propositions reflect ongoing political debates about immigration policy enforcement in the United States.
