Border Patrol union: 'Trump is the only candidate' to support agents
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/19/2016 | Paul Bedar

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.

Trump gets this endorsement and naturally monkey-see-monkey-do Cruz goes to the Arizona border to show his concern!

Clinton will have them continuing Obama’s “legacy” of them having to change the sh*tty diapers of “unaccompanied minor” illegal alien border jumpers.

Border agents should show up in mass at rally today. About half the protestors would scatter.

This is one Trump endorsement that actually matters as these folks are on the soldiers being held in check on the front lines by Obama’s anti-borders war.

Contrast this endorsement with Cruz’s endorsements by Mitt Romney, Glenn Beck, Nikki Haley, and Lindsey Graham.

It’s their #1 priority, having to do with their jobs. The economy and jobs are more difficult to deal with.

I think this entire 2016 election is about globalists vs nationalist (there is only one).

Very good observation. They probably want the one world order thing.

That’s it. The globalists want a one world order, and the nationalist want to maintain our national identity.

As many of us have said, this is the fight this time. The perfect conservative Union can come sometime after we’ve saved our country from the globalists.

There can be no “conservative country” without a country. Country First!

Problem is, Cruz is not going in the opposite direction, he’s “parroting” Trump’s position. Guess Quoting Issac Newton wasn’t quite accurate.

That would be to funny. Meanwhile Trump gets the backing of the Border Patrol and Cruz takes a photo op at the border with the cheap labor express Carly Fiorina. Boy, if that does not tell all.

The Border Patrol Union helped negotiate a 10% pay cut for it’s Agents with the Obama Administration. It’s not surprising that it would endorse an amnesty candidate like Trump.

The border is an economic as well as a national security issue.
At the present time, we have in the nation a business economy as to labor. Means that there are to many workers in the work force. So what does Cruzes supporters want to do? They want to add even MORE to the labor force driving wages even LOWER, by importing MORE labor from Mexico, to take ALL the jobs they can from LEGAL Americans.
When the labor becomes short, those businesses have to raise wages to keep their businesses going. Or at least offer incentives to bring in more labor.

The cost Labor, is NOT the main cost in doing business, it is one, but not the main. It is all the government regulations that are the main costs of labor. One being the reqiurement of WC insurance. Mine was 54.50%-menaing that for every dollar I paid in labor, My corporation paid 54.50 cents for workers compensation. Thanks to the filthy lawyers for that. Add to that cost, UC insurance, Fed Med care, my share of SS. as well as general contractors liability, which went up if I hired, I paid in excess of 70 cents out of every dollar paid to a worker for labor.
A $1000.00 dollar payroll check became $1700.00 dollars.

Lots to think of. One way to solve this is get the governments the hell out of the way. Limit to amount the shyster lawyers can settle for and we will see even more advantages for companies to hire AMERICAN legal citizens at a higher wage.

Trump should have border patrol, police, veterans, active duty military, and taxpayers all in his corner.

He’s going to win big.
