Trump Advocates for Increased Border Patrol Staffing Amid Bipartisan Dispute
In a series of appearances in Arizona, former President Trump has been vocal about his plans to enhance border security by proposing the hiring of an additional 10,000 Border Patrol agents. This call comes after he successfully derailed a bipartisan border bill and continues his public clash with Vice President Harris over immigration issues. Trump has pledged not only to increase the number of agents but also to provide raises and signing bonuses as part of his efforts to overhaul border policies. His proposals have garnered significant backing from the Border Patrol Union, which has unanimously endorsed him, emphasizing support for his plan to restore what he terms safe and secure borders.
