In a significant political endorsement, a group of former U.S. border officials has voiced strong support for former President Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election.

Days before the voters head to the polls, these former officials have declared Trump the preferable candidate for handling national border security, Just The News reported.

The coalition consists of several high-profile names in border management and enforcement, including former chiefs of the U.S. Border Patrol and other senior agency officials. Notably, the group includes Mark Morgan, former acting Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and Thomas Homan, former Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Endorsement Critiques Current Administration

These former officials criticized the current administration's approach to border security, particularly targeting the policies of the Biden/Harris administration. They accuse it of undoing the measures that had been part of a longstanding bipartisan strategy.

According to the endorsing group, the dismantled strategy had been effective for 27 years in preventing crimes both at the border and within the U.S. interior through a focus on deterrence and consequences.

Coalition Praises Trump’s Border Policies

"Assuming you care about border security as much as we do, the choice is clear. President Trump is the only candidate that we can trust to secure our nation’s borders," the group stated in their public endorsement.

The officials detailed their approval of Trump's responsiveness to their expert advice during his presidency, stating, "President Trump respected the experience of career border security professionals and listened to our advice."

They highlighted how Trump's administration took decisive action when informed about the ways illegal immigration benefits criminal cartels. "When border security experts explained to President Trump how illegal immigration empowers the cartels to control who and what enters our home, he listened and acted," they asserted.

Deep Distrust in Current Border Policy

The group's statement reflects a deep-seated distrust in the current administration's ability to handle the complexities of border security. They insist that the policies enacted under the Biden/Harris leadership have significantly weakened the previously effective border security measures.

"The Biden/Harris administration enacted policies that systematically dismantled a proven 27-year bi-partisan border security strategy that prevented crime, both at the border and in towns across America, through deterrence and consequences," the group insisted.

This endorsement from former border officials comes at a critical time as the nation prepares to make its choice in the upcoming election. The clear preference for Trump’s policies amongst these officials underscores their belief in his capability to maintain national security concerning border issues.
