“Today I am proud to rise in support of the brave men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol. I believe our agents need to know how grateful we are for their service to the United States of America. No doubt they have rewarding careers, but these days it has become a thankless job. Sadly, the media often ignores the role our agents play in humanitarian efforts along our borders. They save lives and rescue women and children who are being trafficked and abused. U.S. Border Patrol agents are some of the most amazing people I have ever met. Every day they risk their lives during confrontations with cartels, coyotes, drug runners, and criminal gangs, all to keep you and me and the sovereignty of our Nation safe. It is time we stand in support of these fine men and women, encourage them with prayer, and support them with policies and procedures they need to keep America safe. God bless each one of our U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents. ____________________”
