Why the Border Patrol Union Supports Donald Trump

The Border Patrol union has endorsed Donald Trump for President. It isn’t surprising, since he has always praised them and recognized them for the difficult tasks they do to protect the southern border.
 
Multiple agents, who talked to the New York Post anonymously for fear of backlash from their bosses, said that Kammy is likely to take office with a massive staffing crisis at the agency if she is elected.

Many officers have voiced their objections so strongly and have threatened to leave the agency should the Kamster be elected President.

I’m not doing this $#!+ again … four years of hell,” said one agent, who is nowhere near retirement.

Another agent said: “Lots of guys who can retire will go. If Trump wins, they’ll stay.

Across the entire agency, they feel the Harris-Biden Regime contempt for the work they do. They are truly disrespected.

Under this administration, they’ve done everything they could to make our job as inefficient as possible. They can’t outwardly tell us not to do our job, but when you’re watching criminals come in and get released it sucks,” said one of the agents. That is the consensus.

In addition, nearly 30% of security cameras that monitor the southern border are reportedly broken, and sources fear that could mean the number of migrant “gotaways” is “way more than reported.


Trump has indicated that he will offer substantial sign-on bonuses to both recruits and returning agents. He has promised to add 10,000 new agents to beef up the force.

The agency has shed more than 4,000 personnel since October 2020, leaving about 19,000 employees.

Certainly, it appears Donald Trump will continue to support the Border Patrol as it protects our borders with every tool at his disposal. He has also promised to restart the wall, and make certain funds will be available to maintain equipment within days of taking office. 

And the Border Patrol officers are all in on that.
