Border Patrol Union Chief Praises Trump Administration's Border Security Policies

Border Security Under Trump Administration

• 💡 The Trump administration is credited with securing the border and saving thousands of lives annually, with significant drops in sex trafficking, fentanyl, and identified terrorists.
• 🎯 Under Trump's leadership, border security was enhanced, leading to record lows in encounters at the southern border within months.
• 🔑 The key difference between the Trump and Biden administrations, according to the National Border Patrol Council president, is the ability to do the job.

Contrast with Biden Administration Policies

• ⚠️ President Biden's team was warned that their policies would lead to a catastrophe and facilitate millions of people crossing the border.
• 🚫 The 'catch and release' policy, a major draw for illegal immigration, was immediately halted on day one of the Trump administration and has not been reinstated.
• 📈 The Biden administration facilitated millions of illegal entries, with millions more entering undetected due to Border Patrol being taken off the front lines.

Record Low Border Encounters

• 📊 Current statistics show a dramatic decrease in daily border crossings, with roughly 245 per day, a 95% reduction from the Biden administration's average of 5,110 per day.
• 📉 Some days during the Biden administration saw over 10,000 people crossing, overwhelming holding facilities, a situation that has now slowed to a trickle.
• ✅ President Trump achieved these record low numbers by simply allowing Border Patrol agents to do their job without needing new legislation.

Morale Among Border Patrol Agents

• 👍 Morale among Border Patrol officers is currently at its highest, as agents are able to perform their duties of apprehending, detecting, deterring, and removing individuals who are in the country illegally.
• 🚀 It is described as a great time to be a Border Patrol agent.
