On Sunday, former president Donald Trump made a surprise visit to the southern border of Texas to show his support and gratitude for law enforcement officials combating illegal immigration. Trump was accompanied by Texas Governor Greg Abbott as they handed out Thanksgiving meals to those who will be stationed at the border during the holiday week.
Trump’s visit to McAllen, Texas came just days before Thanksgiving and was met with excitement and appreciation from those serving on the frontlines of the immigration battle. The former president shook hands, took selfies, and gave out plates of turkey, stuffing, and all the fixings to the agents who will be working to secure the border.
In his classic style, Trump made a grand entrance in his signature red tie and MAGA hat, immediately drawing a crowd of supporters and media attention. As he served meals, he thanked the law enforcement officials for their hard work and dedication to protecting the country. He also took the opportunity to once again address the ongoing issue of illegal immigration and reiterated his commitment to secure the southern border.

The presence of Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who joined Trump in serving meals, added to the significance of the event. Abbott, a strong ally of Trump, took the opportunity to publicly endorse the former president’s bid for reelection as the 2020 campaign heats up. This endorsement comes as no surprise, as Abbott has previously praised Trump for his strong stance on immigration and border security.
Those in attendance at the Thanksgiving meal included Texas State Troopers, Texas National Guard soldiers, and Texas Department of Public Safety officers. These individuals will be stationed along the border during the Thanksgiving holiday, ensuring the safety and security of the American people.
As Trump and Abbott made their way through the crowd, they were met with cheers and chants of “four more years.” The former president took the opportunity to speak to the media, expressing his gratitude for the hard-working law enforcement officials at the border and once again highlighting the importance of securing the border.
