In a powerful show of support that speaks volumes about who's actually fighting for border security, the National Border Patrol Council has thrown its full weight behind Texas Governor Greg Abbott's bid for a fourth term leading the Lone Star State.
The endorsement from 16,000 rank-and-file Border Patrol agents represents a stunning rebuke of years of failed federal immigration policies and validates Abbott's aggressive stance on securing America's southern border. National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez announced the endorsement Wednesday, signaling that the boots-on-the-ground agents know exactly who's been standing with them in the trenches.
This isn't just any endorsement – it's a clear message from the men and women who witness the border crisis firsthand every single day. While the Biden administration spent four years actively sabotaging border security and enabling the largest invasion in American history, Abbott stepped up with Operation Lone Star and refused to let Texas become a doormat for illegal immigration.
"Governor Abbott has consistently supported Border Patrol agents and understood the critical importance of border security," the union stated in their endorsement.
The timing couldn't be more significant. With President Trump back in the White House and finally implementing real border security measures, Abbott's leadership provides the perfect state-federal partnership that Americans have been desperately waiting for. No more catch-and-release. No more sanctuary city nonsense. Just results.
Abbott's record speaks for itself: deploying the National Guard, building border barriers, and taking the fight directly to the cartels while Washington politicians played politics with American lives. The Border Patrol union recognizes authentic leadership when they see it.
This endorsement sends shockwaves through the political establishment and proves that when you actually defend America's sovereignty, the people doing the defending notice. Abbott didn't just talk tough on immigration – he delivered results while facing constant lawfare from the Biden DOJ.
With Trump and Abbott working together, illegal immigration's days of running rampant through Texas are numbered. The question isn't whether Abbott deserves a fourth term – it's whether America can afford for him not to have one.
