Ex-border officials back Trump: 'The choice is clear'

A group of former border officials has thrown its support behind former President Donald Trump just days before the presidential election.

The coalition boasts former retired chiefs of the U.S. Border Patrol, other high-ranking members of that agency, as well as former acting U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Commissioner Mark Morgan, and former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Homan.

"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," they wrote. 

"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. "The appalling results were immediate and will have lasting consequences."

"President Trump respected the experience of career border security professionals and listened to our advice. 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.
