In a striking show of support, over 200 retired officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have publicly endorsed former President Donald Trump, urging the American populace to rally behind him.

In an open letter, they assert that Trump is committed to "ensuring the safety and security of the United States," while criticizing the Biden-Harris administration for escalating mass illegal immigration.

According to The Post Millennial, the letter contends that the effective border security strategies implemented under Trump's administration were "systematically dismantled" by the Biden-Harris administration, which promptly softened policies on illegal immigration. Among the signatories of the letter are notable figures such as Tom Homan, the former director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Rodney Scott, the former director of Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

The retired officials emphasized the paramount importance of national security, stating, “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.”

The letter further praised Trump for his respect for the expertise of career border security professionals and his responsiveness to their 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,” the letter added.

The signatories lauded the Trump administration for its commitment to reducing illegal immigration, instilling integrity into the legal immigration system, and ensuring stringent control over who and what entered the country. “The borders of the U.S. were never more secure than they were during the Trump administration,” the letter asserted.

The Biden-Harris administration, however, has been criticized for its executive orders that halted Trump's construction of a wall on the southern border and ended his Remain in Mexico policy. These actions, among others, have been blamed for the influx of millions of illegal immigrants into the US. The past two years have seen the highest number of illegal border crossings on record, as per data provided by CBP.

The letter lambasted the Biden-Harris administration for its alleged failure to provide basic border security and accused it of surrendering the southern border to criminals and cartels. “Under VP Harris’ watch, idealist political appointees with zero border security experience were empowered to implement disastrous and deadly border security policy for the United States,” the letter states. “The devastating results have handed complete control of our border to the cartels, provided them with astronomical record profits, ballooned legal immigration backlogs, and have left millions of illegal aliens in the country.”

The retired officials concluded their letter by asserting their trust in Trump as the only candidate capable of securing the nation's borders. "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 stated.

While Vice President Harris has expressed a need to bolster border security, her recent interview with Telemundo suggested an inclination towards amnesty for illegal immigrants in the US. On the other hand, Trump has pledged at his rallies that violent illegal immigrants will face deportation if he is reelected as president.
