Donald Trump received an endorsement from over 200 retired DHS officials.
They wrote in a letter, “The borders of the U.S. were never more secure than they were during the Trump administration.”
More than 200 retired officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have endorsed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for president in an open letter that urges all Americans to support him. They argued that Trump believes in “ensuring the safety and security of the United States” and that the Biden-Harris administration has increased mass illegal immigration.
The letter argued that Trump used border security methods that were both effective, only to see these measures “systematically dismantled” by the Biden-Harris administration, which immediately worked to soften border policies on illegal immigration. Those who signed the letter include the former director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Tom Homan and the former director of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Rodney Scott.
The officials noted that other issues are moot points if America forfeits its national security: “The single most important factor when evaluating the candidates should be ensuring the safety and security of the United States. Of the countless issues to consider, every one of them is dependent upon our national security. National security has many facets, but it does not exist without enforceable international borders. In this election, there is no need to speculate what each candidate might do. When reviewing their records you can see both candidates have very clear, but distinctly different track records.”
“President Trump respected the experience of career border security professionals and listened to our advice,” the letter added. “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.”
“The Trump administration supported policies and programs that reduced illegal immigration, instilled integrity into our legal immigration system and ensured that the U.S. government was doing all we could to control who and what entered our homeland. The borders of the U.S. were never more secure than they were during the Trump administration,” the letter continued.
