Love him!\u201d said a second agent stationed in this region.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump made a highly anticipated visit to Eagle Pass, Texas, much to the \u2064delight of Border Patrol agents in the\u2062 area. While President Joe Biden also visited \u200cthe \u200dborder, Trump&#8217;s presence in this region was met with enthusiasm from the agents. The fact that both presidents made appearances near the\u2064 Mexican border highlights the significance\u2062 of immigration as a top concern for voters leading up to their potential rematch in 2024.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A third \u2062agent said the only downside to\u2064 Trump\u2019s \u2062visit was that he could not attend in person \u200band see the former president. \u201cWish I was there,\u201d the agent wrote in a text message.<\/p>\n<p>A fourth agent who has been detailed to Eagle Pass \u200dmultiple times over the\u200c past three years said he wished he could have been on the ground to see Trump\u200c in person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be\u2062 a sight to see,\u201d the agent said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite not being able to witness Trump&#8217;s visit firsthand, the agents expressed their admiration and excitement for his \u200bpresence. Over the past few years, Border Patrol \u2063agents have faced declining morale, exacerbated by the Biden administration&#8217;s treatment of\u2063 the agency.

The\u200c state has taken charge \u200cof apprehending immigrants \u200dwho illegally cross into the park downtown.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A fifth \u200dagent said he would have liked to have seen Trump \u2063visit in December, when illegal immigrant arrests into Eagle Pass topped 2,000 people\u2062 per\u200c day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would\u2019ve been a bit more meaningful a few \u200cmonths ago but I\u2019m\u2064 aware of what \u200dhis visit is\u2063 meant for,\u201d the agent said. \u201cIt\u2019s not a bad thing that he\u2019s here.

They understand the purpose behind his \u200dvisit and\u2063 wish him well. However,\u200b they also emphasize that real change can\u200c only happen if Trump is elected to\u2063 the White House in\u2064 the future.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Trump&#8217;s visit to Eagle Pass \u200dbrought a\u2064 sense of excitement and hope to\u200d the Border Patrol agents, who have been tirelessly working through \u200cthe challenges of\u2064 the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cruz-pushes-for-house-passed-bill-to-improve-border-security-tackling-migrant-crisis\/\" title=\"Cruz Pushes For House-Passed Bill To Improve Border Security, Tackling Migrant Crisis\">largest illegal immigration crisis<\/a> in U.S. \u2064history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A\u200b sixth Texas agent said Trump\u2019s visit \u200cwas \u200cmeaningful but would be meaningless to agents if the presumed Republican\u200b presidential nominee does not win in November.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether \u200dhe\u2019s\u2064 here or not he needs to be in the White House to \u200dmake real change.
