Former President Donald Trump told Americans at an Oct. 13 campaign rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona, that he plans to address a shortage of Customs and Border Patrol agents by seeking to boost their pay.
“After I win, I will be asking Congress immediately to approve a 10 percent raise—they haven’t had one in a long time—for all ages, and a $10,000 each retention and signing bonus,” he said while flanked by a delegation of Border Patrol agents.
