Perez said he had a message for everyone gathered.
“If we allow border czar Harris to win this election, every city and every community in this great country will go to hell,” Perez said. “The untold millions of unchecked people she has allowed into this country who commit murder, rape, robbery, burglary and all manner of other crimes will continue to put our country at risk.
“Only one man can fix this. It is Donald J. Trump,” he continued. “He has always stood with the men and women who protect this border, who risk their lives for the country.”

“On behalf of the 16,000 men and women represented by the National Border Patrol Council, we strongly endorse and endorse Donald J. Trump for President of the United States,” Perez said.
