Former President Donald Trump was recently backed by the National Border Patrol Council. The union criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her immigration policies, claiming they contribute to crime and chaos at the border.
“If we allow Border Czar Harris to win this election, every city, every community in this great country, is going to go to hell. The untold millions of people, unvetted, who she has allowed into this country that are committing murders, rapes, robberies, burglaries, and every other crime will continue to put our country in peril,” National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez said.
“Only one man can fix that and that is Donald J. Trump. He has always stood with the men and women who protect this border,” Perez pressed.
Trump emphasized the importance of border security, noting that he would support Border Patrol agents fully, and emphasized the need to address illegal immigration.
“This November we have a choice to make: continue the chaos, allow the criminal cartels to control the border, to allow drugs and fentanyl across our country or put an end to it once and for all,” Perez said.
Trump also announced plans to recruit 10,000 additional agents and raise their salaries.
“I will always stand with the incredible men and women of Border Patrol,” Trump said. “This is a group that really needs spirit because they’re protecting us, they’re protecting our lives, they’re protecting our country.”
“What they’ve done to us on the border can never be forgiven,” Trump said. “They’re coming from prisons and jails, insane asylums, mental institutions, from Venezuela, from the Congo, all over. And she’s resettled them into your communities to prey upon innocent American people. If Kamala gets four more years, the entire country will be turned into a migrant camp, and that’s what happening.”
Polls have indicated a tight race between Trump and Harris in Arizona, with Trump holding a slight lead.
