Looks like former Border Patrol officers have 50,000 reasons to double down on their support of MAGA.
A consistent hallmark of President Donald Trump’s policies is border security … starting from his first presidential campaign well into his second presidential administration more than ten years later.
From his disapproval of sanctuary cities to his staunch support of law enforcement officials, Trump has made it abundantly clear that he is not playing games when it comes to supporting individuals who dedicate their lives to protecting the border.
And that clarity has reached new heights with recent revelations of a well-deserved bonus opportunity for former border patrol officers.
And what a rich bonus it is!
In fact, the bonus is so magnificent, it may well be “Christmas in July” for some.
That’s right: Just as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis attracted law enforcement officers from Democrat-heavy states with his $5,000 sign-on bonuses, now the White House is offering upwards of $50,000 over a five-year period to former border patrol officers who burnt out under Biden.
As reported by the New York Post, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has officially launched “Operation Return to Mission.”
As suggested by the name, the core objective of the new ICE operation is to lure back former ICE agents who quit for an array of reasons.
One of which may well include the seemingly endless open borders – and limited federal support – during the Biden-Harris administration.
Not to mention the fact that emboldened cartel members opened fire on border patrol officials earlier this year.
“You served the United States of America with distinction and honor. Now, your country calls upon you to serve once more,” ICE wrote.
Quite the call, given the havoc of the prior administration … which ICE mentions in the letter.
“Due to the prior administration’s disastrous immigration policies, the men and women of ICE now face unprecedented challenges. Your experience and unwavering commitment are critically needed to secure our communities and uphold our laws,” ICE continued.
And that experience comes with a price tag.
“ICE is offering a signing bonus of $10,000 upon returning to service; another $10,000 bonus for those who submit applications by Aug. 1; and annual $10,000 bonuses, for up to three years, for those who take part in Operation Return to Service,” the New York Post detailed.
That is quite the sign-on bonus! While several objectives must be fulfilled first, it is fairly clear that those sign-on bonuses will likely compel more than one ICE officer to return to duty.
