‘Rapid pace’: Former Trump official makes prediction about incoming admin’s aggressive border plan

The Trump administration’s border security efforts are set to hit the ground running in 2025, with former top official Mark Morgan predicting a swift and efficient approach to securing the border. Morgan, who served as the acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner in the Trump administration, believes that the administration will build upon the successes of its first term, which included the construction of hundreds of miles of border wall and the implementation of policies like “Remain-in-Mexico.”

Morgan emphasized that the Trump administration will focus on preventing illegal immigration and disrupting drug trafficking by targeting cartels before they reach the border. He highlighted the importance of proactive measures to secure the border, rather than just reacting to illegal entry. He stressed that the administration will utilize proven strategies and authorities that have already been tested and implemented.

One key aspect of the administration’s border security strategy will be the construction of additional border wall. Over 450 miles of wall were built during the previous administration, and the groundwork has been laid for further construction. Morgan expressed hope that a national emergency declaration would expedite the process and allow for funding from alternative sources.

In addition to border wall construction, Morgan anticipates legislative action on border security in Congress, given the strong Republican majority in both chambers. He believes that Republicans who have been hesitant to support strong border security measures will be compelled to take action in light of the border crisis. Morgan envisions permanent legislative reforms to address border security, rather than relying solely on executive orders.

As for his own potential return to government service, Morgan stated that he would be ready and willing to serve if called upon by President Trump. While he acknowledged that the final decision rests with the president, Morgan expressed eagerness to be part of the next administration’s efforts to secure the border and restore order to the country.

In conclusion, the Trump administration’s border security efforts in 2025 are poised to build upon the successes of the past, with a focus on proactive measures, efficient border wall construction, and legislative reforms. With a strong Republican majority in Congress and a commitment to securing the border, the administration is prepared to tackle the challenges ahead.
