John Kennedy, U.S. Senator from Louisiana, posted a series of statements on his official Twitter account on September 3, 2025, addressing issues related to border security, taxation, and food safety.
In his first post at 15:10 UTC, Kennedy commented on the state of the U.S. border under former President Trump. He wrote: “The border is so secure under President Trump that many would-be illegal immigrants aren’t even bothering to show up.
It wasn’t long ago that the last administration pretended there was nothing they could do about illegal immigration.

Later in the day at 16:32 UTC, Kennedy criticized various forms of taxation and promoted legislative efforts to reform estate taxes. He stated: “The government taxes the clothes you wear and the car you drive. It taxes you when you work and when you play.
Does it really have to tax you when you pass away, too?
The One Big Beautiful Bill protects more Americans from the unfair estate tax. https://t.co/JEiOF9SS8X” (September 3, 2025).
That evening at 21:52 UTC, Kennedy raised concerns about imported seafood safety with a reference to popular culture. He posted: “If you eat some of the radioactive frozen shrimp that foreign countries are sending to America, you may end up looking like this picture from the movie, “Alien!” https://t.co/cdzWUF3G3v” (September 3, 2025).
Senator John Kennedy has previously voiced strong opinions on border security and immigration policy during both Republican and Democratic administrations. The debate over estate taxes has been ongoing in Congress for decades; proposals such as those referenced by Kennedy aim to reduce or eliminate federal inheritance taxes for certain Americans. Food safety regarding imported seafood remains an issue periodically addressed by lawmakers and regulatory agencies in response to consumer health concerns.
