Despite Biden’s assertion of the Border Patrol’s endorsement, the National Border Patrol shared a post to social media contradicting his previous comments, stating they would never endorse the current US President.

The debate was marked by a heated exchange, with both candidates expressing their opposing views on border security policies.

In response, Trump argued the United States border was under control during his tenure in office, stating that “we had the safest border in history” under his leadership as president.

This decision may have negatively affected his ability to fully police the border, which has been noticed by the American public. According to data from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, only three out of every ten US adults agree with Biden’s approach to immigration.

During the debate, the current president even alleged that the National Border Patrol Union has the utmost confidence in his abilities, claiming “the border patrolmen” even endorsed him, per The Independent.

The 81-year-old continued, “I’ve changed it in a way you now have a situation where there’s 40 percent fewer people coming across the border illegally; it’s better than when he left office.”

“To be clear, we never have and never will endorse Biden,” wrote the Border Patrol Union.

The Biden administration supported the legislation. However, House Republicans made it clear early on that it would not pass, and Trump himself urged all Republican senators to vote against it.

The Republican candidate argued Biden had stepped aside and allowed an unprecedented number of illegal migrants to run across the border, overwhelming states and their social safety net programs.

“The fact is that his big kill on the Black people is he’s let millions of people come in through the border. They’ve taken Black jobs now. It could be 18, 19, or even 20 million people. They’re taking Black jobs,” he said.

The former US President’s comment led to the phrase “Black job” trending on the popular social media platform X. Many users began questioning what careers Trump had in mind when he alleged the migrants were stealing Black jobs.

In the end, Trump referred to Biden as one of the worst presidents to ever sit in the office, while the latter labeled Trump a felon and claimed he was a threat to democracy in the US. Going forward, US Voters will come to place their trust in one of the two men; however, it’s unlikely Biden will gain the confidence of the Border Patrol in the near future.
