Hi John,
I'm Chris Clem, and as a retired Chief Patrol Agent, I have spent nearly three
decades working to keep our nation safe.
Throughout my career I have witnessed the heroics displayed by our agents
saving lives, risking their own, and the tragedies brought by ruthless
traffickers and smugglers exploiting people for profit. Every year, under four
of the five Administrations I worked for, progress on border security was being
made.
Collectively, the US Border Patrol put forth and implemented a plan to give
Americans the most secure border I had seen my career. Unfortunately, and
sadly, the plan and its implementation were dismantled beginning on day one of
the Biden Administration. This led to one of the most chaotic border
environments I have ever seen.
I have never seen a border crisis this bad: The numbers are staggering—nearly
9 million illegal crossings at the southern border since Biden took office, of
which nearly 2 million are got-aways. This is more than just a crisis. It’s a
full-blown catastrophethat puts national security and public safety at risk!
That’s why I’ve partnered with AFP, to send a clear message to Washington:
Secure the border, now.
It’s not just President Biden who’s responsible for this chaos: Many in
Congress have turned a blind eye to the situation, refusing to support
common-sense policies like increasing border security, enhancing our
infrastructure, and deploying the latest technology to manage and control the
border effectively.
But AFP and I are not standing idly by while Washington does nothing. Unlike
many, we are taking action. We’re mobilizing the most powerful force in
American politics—you, the American people—to advocate for real, tangible
solutions that will finally secure our border.
Here’s the bottom line: Fixing the border means:
✅ Investing in personnel-more border patrol agents, infrastructure-walls where
they make sense and border access roads, and technology-lights, cameras and
sensors.
✅ Enacting policies that quickly process and remove those who don’t qualify
for relief.
✅ Complementing those efforts with accessible and highly vetted legal channels
for people who come to contribute.
All the above are proven requirements needed by border patrol agents to
effectively secure our borders.
Together, we can push Washington to adopt these common-sense policies and take
back control of our border. Learn more aboutour plan to secure America

I’m honored to stand with AFP and with you in this critical fight. Let’s work
together to secure the border, protect our communities, and preserve the
American Dream.

Chris Clem
