Border Patrol union: 'Trump is the only candidate' to support agents

The largest U.S. Border Patrol union local is praising Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for being the "only candidate" to support their tough mission, an almost endorsement that is the latest boost for the front runner's campaign.

"Mr. Trump is the only candidate that has publicly expressed his support of our mission and our agents. He has been an outspoken candidate on the need for a Secure Border and for this we are grateful," said a statement from Art Del Cueto, president of Local 2544 of the National Border Patrol Council, the representative of 18,000 agents.

He said that Trump sought the local's endorsement, though it has a practice of not endorsing.

However, the statement was as close to an endorsement as possible, and was the latest support for Trump given by several influential border state officials.



On March 18, 2016, Donald Trump's campaign reached out to Local 2544 about a potential endorsement. I informed Mr. Trump's campaign that NBPC had long standing practice of not endorsing Presidential candidates and that as the President of Local 2544, and I would continue to adhere to that practice.

However, the National Border Patrol Council and Local 2544 are pleased to inform voters that Mr. Trump is the only candidate that has publicly expressed his support of our mission and our Agents. He has been an outspoken candidate on the need for a Secure Border and for this we are grateful.

The American public has continually called for a secure border and Donald Trump has promised to make this desire a reality. His campaign has expressed an interest in a Border Patrol's Agent's perspective and a tour of our border, that we will gladly provide. We do not seek to give tours but if asked we will happily provide a tour that gives a realistic idea of what our Agents face on a daily basis. Donald Trump is the only candidate who has expressed this interest.

We are confident that the National Border Patrol Council's longstanding message about the unsecured border and much needed support for our Agents will be received well by Mr. Trump. The American public deserves to be secure in their own country and we encourage all voters to consider that candidate that has the political will to make it happen.

UNSTOPPABLE: THE DONALD TRUMP PHENOMENON - EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH ROGER STONE

Good video

The reason that they have it and you don't is because, essentially, you are of less value - and whilst I can just about understand this legitimation from their perspective it absolutely baffles me why anyone outside the top 0.5% would want to buy into it.

 

I just remembered why - its called deference.

This is how John Stuart Mill put it :-  “The relation between rich and poor, according to this theory (a theory also applied to the relation between men and women) should be only partly authoritative; it should be amiable, moral, and sentimental: affectionate tutelage on the one side, respectful and grateful deference on the other. The rich should be in loco parentis to the poor, guiding and restraining them like children.”

Me personally, I don't like being patronised. Nor do I need a father figure, or a god. I'm my own man.

It'd be nice to put the problems of the US (and Western Europe) down to the advent of political correctness, as Pena does. And as with all plausible lies, there is an element of truth to it.
But as an analysis of 21st century capitalism it falls woefully short.

I had to laugh at the video of Pena giving his talk/seminar to his gullible umbrella holders in his Scottish castle. He was explaining to them how he was a winner because, of everyone in the room (his room btw), he was the only one to have absolutely no fear - of anything at all. Hey, even Muhammad Ali knew fear. So what a guy this Pena guy must be.

Or what a prick.

Socialism hates the middle class and the spirit of entrepreneurship more than it hates the rich.

What ? This spirit of entrepeneurship ? LMFAO

He gets it alright

Support levels for Trump hitting the roof. As per the latest opinion polls by Emerson for the state of New York, Trump is leading with 64% of the primary vote, with Cruz trailing behind with just 12%. Seems like all the attack ads against him have only resulted in an increase in the support levels. Bad news for Cruz ad Kasich.

I can sum it all up nicely.

Trump is the hand in the air with the middle finger raised.

That's the voice of the people.

What are you scared of? The people's freedom to chose and vote?

I'm scared of people who don't know the difference between choose and chose

Still he have people who extremely hate him. His life is not really safe anymore I never Hope to life in that fair. Besides that the other part of people believe he will change the world.

The solution to this problem is to pick a vice president that the opponents hate more than they hate the President.  So all he has to do is pick Ted Cruz, the tea party guy, as the VP.  Nobody would dare assasinate Trump.

Lol...

We agree then. People should the right to chose

I don't think that Cruz will agree to be his VP candidate. There is a lot of bad blood between the two, and Cruz's support base will also be against any such idea. Rand Paul will be a good choice if Trump secures the GOP nomination. Trump voters are mostly middle-aged and elderly. Paul will help him to win the younger voters.

I'd say you have the right general idea, but an implementation which falls quite short.  Also that 'hate' is not really the right word.  That emotion loses it's mojo the farther one moves up the pyramid.  A more applicable one is 'fear'.  Swap 'Trump' and 'Cruz' and you may have a more valid point.

I'm cautiously optimistic to say that Trump will be hard pressed to find an acceptable VP which 'they' find less preferable.  His best strategy is probably going to be to fall back on his negotiating skills and get 'them' fighting among themselves to see who can make the best deals individually and thus take the least damage.  Part and parcel to that would be to engineer a situation where a hit on the Donald would produce the poorest results for everyone.  Enough people are paying attention now to where that might be practicable.

Edit:  Cruz is dirty enough and connected enough to help greatly in implementing the kinds of unsightly deals that Trump will need to be making.  I would certainly see a place for him in a Trump admin. (Another Edit:  once again Goldman Sachs guys do well on their investments/bets.)  Trump's probably agile enough to not position his back to the Zodiac killer though.

Checked the polls and ever since Little Marco dropped out on Tuesday, none of his supporters really went to Cruz, but rather all to Kasich and some to Trump. Cruz has barely moved in national averages.

All the media are crying that it was a bad thing for Trump to lose Ohio but the thing is, he lost it on purpose. Kasich is WEAK. He's a mess! Kind of like Jeb when you look at their personalities. Rubio was strong and was willing to fight, trump focused on getting him out of the race by winning Florida. If Trump won Ohio, Kasich would've dropped out and funnelled a lot of support to Cruz and potentially beating him in a national convention.

Because he lost Ohio, Kasich's still in and the "anti-Trump" bullshit/movement is still divided. The vote will be forever split allowing Trump to sneak through and win the nomination.

He's more than just Up now, he's dominating.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Policies of Cruz are very much different from that of Rubio, so it was expected. Cruz is like ultra-religious and hardcore conservative, while both Trump and Kasich are more like centrists (in case of Trump, that is with the exception of the immigration issue). Some of Rubio's supporters are likely to support Kasich, some are likely to stay at home, and some are going to vote for Hitlery.

Definitionally, Trump is by virtue of his support being proven centrist on immigration.

I'm afraid we are going to have to redefine things in these terms.

"Centrist" in terms of what the voters think.

Each time, people stuck in traffic get mad, then some change their mind about TRUMP and vote for him.
