Trump unveils new border plan, calling for 10,000 more agents

[Karah Rucker]

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP UNVEILED A NEW PLAN TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF U-S BORDER PATROL AGENTS.

HE MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT SUNDAY AT A CAMPAIGN STOP IN ARIZONA –

SAYING THAT IF HE’S ELECTED – HE WOULD HIRE TEN THOUSAND NEW AGENTS AND BOOST THEIR SALARIES BY 10 PERCENT. 

HE ALSO WOULD OFFER A TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR RETENTION AND SIGNING BONUS TO KEEP THE AGENTS CURRENTLY ON THE JOB AND BRING IN NEW AGENTS. 

TRUMP IS PROPOSING THIS PLAN AFTER OPPOSING A BI-PARTISAN BILL IN CONGRESS EARLIER THIS YEAR THAT WOULD HAVE BOOSTED THE NUMBER OF AGENTS AT THE BORDER. 

SENATE REPUBLICANS BLOCKED THE BILL, WHICH HAS ALLOWED TRUMP TO KEEP HIS EFFORTS TO SECURE THE BORDER AS ONE OF HIS CAMPAIGN THEMES.

If kamala gets 4 more years … the entire country will be turned into a migrant camp and that’s what’s happening 

when I win on Nov 5 the migrant invasion ends the restoration of our country begins (cheers) 

VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS’ CAMPAIGN DENOUNCED TRUMP’S PLAN SAYING HE HAS A TRACK RECORD OF BROKEN PROMISES AND FAILED LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE.

HARRIS SAID SHE WOULD SIGN THE BIPARTISAN BILL IF SHE WERE ELECTED AS PRESIDENT.

SHE MADE A TRIP TO THE BORDER IN SEPTEMBER BACKING TIGHTER BORDER RESTRICTIONS.

THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION HAS RECENTLY SEEN NEW LOWS FOR MIGRANT CROSSINGS INTO THE U-S FOLLOWING NEW RESTRICTIONS ON ASYLUM ACCESS. 

THE BORDER PATROL HAD AROUND 56-THOUSAND CROSSINGS IN JULY .. 58-THOUSAND IN AUGUST AND 45-THOUSAND IN SEPTEMBER … WHICH IS DOWN FROM 250-THOUSAND AT THE END OF 20-23.

THERE ARE AROUND 19-THOUSAND AGENTS EMPLOYED BY THE U-S BORDER PATROL.

THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION DID LOSE OVER 42-HUNDRED AGENTS BETWEEN OCTOBER 20-20 AND APRIL 20-24 DUE TO PEOPLE WHO EITHER QUIT OR RETIRED. 

FOR SAN, I’M KARAH RUCKER.
