(DailyVantage.com) – During a rally in Arizona, former President Donald Trump received a major endorsement from the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) as he unveiled a plan to bolster border security. The union, representing around 16,000 Border Patrol agents, endorsed Trump for the third time, citing his commitment to ending the illegal immigration crisis and supporting those who guard the nation’s borders.
Speaking at the rally in Prescott Valley, NBPC President Paul Perez sharply criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, who has been tasked with managing immigration policy under the Biden administration. Perez warned that a Harris victory in the upcoming election would further destabilize communities across the country. “If we allow Border Czar Harris to win this election,” Perez said, “every city, every community… is going to go to hell.” He claimed that Harris’ policies had allowed unvetted individuals into the U.S., leading to a surge in crimes like murder, rape, and robbery.
Perez emphasized that Trump is the only candidate capable of restoring order. “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 said, urging Americans to choose between chaos and control in the November election.
Trump, honored by the union’s endorsement, praised the agents for their dedication. “I will always stand with the incredible men and women of Border Patrol,” he said. As part of his campaign platform, Trump pledged to hire 10,000 new Border Patrol agents, push Congress for a 10% raise for all agents, and offer $10,000 retention and signing bonuses to help retain personnel.
Trump stressed the importance of border security throughout the rally, attended by roughly 7,000 supporters. He described the border crisis as the most critical issue of the election. “What they’ve done to us on the border can never be forgiven,” Trump said, blaming the current administration for resettling dangerous individuals into American communities. He warned that a second Harris term would turn the U.S. into “a migrant camp.”
Polls in Arizona indicate a tight race between Trump and Harris, with Trump holding a narrow 1.4% lead according to recent averages.
