GOP FRONTRUNNER: GROUP’S BACKING REPRESENTS A “TOTAL REJECTION OF CORRUPT POLITICIANS”
The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) – the official union representing America’s border patrol agents – has broken with is “longstanding practice of not endorsing presidential candidates in the primaries.”
Who is the group supporting? Donald Trump.
“We are breaking with our past practice and giving our first-ever endorsement in a presidential primary,” the organization wrote. “We think it is that important: if we do not secure our borders, American communities will continue to suffer at the hands of gangs, cartels and violent criminals preying on the innocent. The lives and security of the American people are at stake, and the National Border Patrol Council will not sit on the sidelines.”
According to the organization, Trump is “as bold and outspoken as other world leaders who put their country’s interests ahead of all else.” The group added that Trump would “take on special interests and embrace the ideas of rank-and-file Border Patrol agents rather than listening to the management yes-men who say whatever they are programmed to say.”
Not surprisingly, “The Donald” – whose aggressive immigration reforms have dominated discussion during the 2016 election cycle – was thrilled to receive the group’s support.
“This endorsement represents a total rejection of the corrupt politicians who have allowed transnational gangs and cartels to terrorize American communities,” Trump said in accepting the endorsement. “America’s 16,500 border patrol agents represented by the NBPC are the first line of defense for our nation. The NBPC provides the vital outlet to learn the truth – not the political spin from bureaucrats – about what is really happening on our border. And the NBPC has been the one outlet these agents have to prevent their voice from being drowned out by big money special interests.”
This isn’t the first time a group on the front lines of the illegal immigration issue has waded into presidential politics.
Earlier this year, the head of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Council – the union that represents federal immigration and customs employees – ripped U.S. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida for betraying the group.
“He surrounded himself with big business and amnesty groups, most of which were more interested in cheap labor and their own political agendas, and had no real concern for the welfare of immigrants, public safety, or the security of our nation,” the leader of the group wrote.

The Union angling for more money – to be expected.
All kinds of union members support Trump, like Rush and Hanity.
Wait? Aren’t unions bad and anti-American?
Trumpsters are soooooo confused. I guess it goes with the low intelligence.
:) Nos estamos aqui, y nos votamos!!! Bamo!!!!!
Hell, I barely no English. Just like mi boy Trumpft.
Blacks for the most part,like whites are decent people. We are basically the same culture. The people who were racist years ago were hateful for no reason. They were ignorant. Can we say we hate the mexicans or their culture? The ones coming here now are dirty. It is clear you have NEVER lived in a neighborhood taken over by mexicans. If by chance,you do live in a mexican neighborhood and you like it then you must be just like them. By the way, the decent mexicans stay in mexico. It’s just the shit ones who come here for the handouts. Just getting a job does not make you a decent person. It’s how you live that matters. Yes,I know some Americans live in filth as well. Like I said its not the decent ones coming here.They should ask themselves what can THEY do for this country not what this country can do for them.
It must suck to be so fucking ignorant. But then again, you’re probably too ignorant to properly gauge your actually ignorance level. Stupid white thrash make us look bad.
Man Pogo is letting out his inner racist today.
Today?!?
Try every calendar day of the year!
Chances are they aren’t Mexican, which had more leave the US then enter last year, but rather from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador.
Don’t these crossing guards realize that Trump’s Great Wall will put them out of a job. Proving once again, Trump fans are a dumb lot.
If Trump builds a wall, he just use foreign labor like his other projects.
Well, somebody has to paint it — don’t they?
Will it be gold?
They are filthy pieces of trash who have NO right to be in our country. They are lazy, disgusting people. They all need to go climb/float back to where they came from!
Lazy? They do jobs that pampered Americans won’t do. So I can’t agree with most of your comment. I really can’t afford to pay $10 for a head of lettuce either. In fact, after Trump deports all the illegals and start a trade war – I doubt anyone but Donald’s friends will be able to afford to eating, buying clothes, cars etc..
Plenty of good articles out their about a recent Alabama law that reeked havoc on the agriculture community
Nos estamos aqui, y nos votamos – gringo!!!!
Yeah, Trump supporters are pretty awful. They should be kicked out of the USA. We would be much better, and smarter, for it.
Sound like a racist to me.
Mexicans are bringing us issues that have nothing to do with us and ruining our neighborhoods, with gangster “children” the liberals call them, they love spray painting street signs and hardworking people’s businesses and establishments and claiming that they own certain areas that they don’t even pay a single dime of property taxes on, unattractive obese single mothers with multiple kids, drunk driving men that contribute to majority of drunk driving fatalities by crashing into others or running people over,they actually are similar to virus, destroying everything going from host to host sucking it dry more so like a parasite both virus and parasite interchangeably, They get on welfare with no intent on getting off of it ever with their 4 out of control anchor children per mexican woman, I knew a Mexican women that would complain to my mother in law about her being scared of her daughter leaving home when she turned 18 because they would cut her welfare off.
And here I thought the GOP stance was blacks were the problem. That they were the welfare queens with thugs for kids, sitting around eating fried chicken all day and trading EBT cards for malt liquor & Newports.
Really if you aren’t an old white rich dude you are going to have a bad time with Republicans at the helm.
Yep. I see Donald is doubling down for the woman vote today. He thinks if abortion is illegal, women should be “punished” for having one, but not men.
Ju losz oot on de lawn mowa trabajo?
Yea since a wall will do so much as the hundreds of fencing and walls already have… It’s no secret cartels have already moved to using tunnels to conduct drug smuggling and human trafficking
But Trump’s wall will be extra high AND extra deep. Just ask the foreign contractors who will design and build it…oh yeah….*giggles*…and pay for it.
Ain’t gonna make the dairy farmers happy.
I know from 2 years of dairy farm experience that most illegal mexicans are in fact just as lazy as anyone..They treat the white people like we are the ones in their country when in reality, it is the other way.I wouldn’t dislike them so much if they would try to speak English towards the white people since they are in America, NOT Mexico.Also they are very disrespectful and rude towards me and any other person who isn’t Mexican where I work.In my place of work, the Mexicans make the white,black,asian,and native americans a minority.Also they have it at my work where about 790% of the bosses are in fact, ……..(SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!) Mexicans.
You need a new job.
Only 22 percent of all registered voters surveyed have a favorable opinion of Trump, compared to a resounding 70 percent who view him unfavorably. And 56 percent of all Wisconsin voters say they would be “very uncomfortable” with Trump as president
Hillary Clinton thanks him for his sabotage of the Republican party.
That is great news.Trump is doing as well as Romney did with Hispanics.60 percent of Wisconsins are very uncomfortable with Hillary as President.Trump is bringing in millions of new voters so we should win in a landslide.
You’re the ‘Mexican’ now, cracker!
Hahahahahahaha!
He is working as a dishwasher at a Mexican restaurant.
“I know from 2 years of dairy farm experience”
You don’t know jack Pogo.
More American are moving to Mexico(Google) than vice versa.A great place to retire,or at least,a vacation-

Border Patrol has a Union? That’s like a liberal with a nice handgun collection.
Looks like this MSNBC town hall tonight is going to be a must see…See what other insane and dangerous things Trump can say.
.@hardball_chris: Well, just say it. “I will never use a nuclear weapon in Europe.”
TRUMP: I am not—I am not taking cards off the table.
nice shameless plug . looks like you’ll be the only one watching
This is huuge news that puts a knife through the heart of the anti-Trump movement, talk about constipation.
Donald Trump is the cure!
Trump is supposed to be the master of controlling the news cycle. This endorsement was to be the major news story. What happened instead? Trump’s stupid answer about punishing women who have abortions.
