'THROUGH THE ROOF!': Border Patrol Agent Morale Up Big After Trump's Historic Comeback: Report

posted by Hannity Staff - 11.12.24

According to a Fox News report, Border Patrol Agents are experiencing a surge in morale now that President-elect Donald Trump is heading back to the Oval Office.

“The morale is through the roof,” National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez said in an interview with Fox News Digital. “We’ve received hundreds of calls, texts, emails, just saying how happy the agents are.”

“There are a lot of agents that had originally said that they would retire if President Trump did not win. And now those same agents are saying they’re going to hold back on their retirement because they want to serve under this administration again, because they know exactly how it was during this first administration, and they know this one’s going to be even better,” he said.

Perez also said Trump’s election will help with Border Patrol’s low recruitment numbers.

“We’ve always had a recruiting problem. And so right now, with President Trump coming into office, a lot of people are going to want to do this job. A lot of people have shown interest previously, but they were hesitant to apply and work for the previous administration,” he said. “So under Trump, we’re going to have a good amount of recruits to choose from.”

Perez said that under Trump, agents will receive greater job satisfaction because they know that the people they catch will be removed “instead of allowing them to abuse our asylum system.”
