Unions are just branches of organized crime. They are useless. And they are obviously petulant hissy fit children to boot.

LOL, build a fence? I’d buy stock in Ladder and Shovel companies once that startsWhy haven't you already? A wall seems to be working out well for Israel, so much so that the Saudi's are building a 600 mile long wall/fence to help keep ISIS out.

Read it again, the union wanted to be with him, and got threats from management in DC. These guys go with him, and get fired or retaliated against, they will be on their own and they know it.

Why all the data on the union? It was management in DC that threatened them. All the big talkers would be happy to have the Border Patrol agents defy them, and would be nowhere to be seen when those patrolmen lose their jobs.
In a year or two, after lawsuits, maybe they might get a job back,,,maybe.
They union did nothing wrong here except to correctly get the message that management will retaliate hard if their members are there with Trump.

Yup every day. It is concealed between his nose and chin.

Everyone else is avoiding the border and the issue like it's the plague...
And remember...EVERY POLITICIAN in the whole country agreed that the border needed to be secured immediately and they all continue to drag their feet...and nothing has changed. In fact, it's worse.
To: Sacajaweau
they want the issue not the solution.
others complain about and lay claim to being champion of the issue.
trump says this is what we are going to do to fix the issue.
