If I knew you (I don't), or b) cared about what you feel (I don't), maybe I would be like you and c) engage in juvenile insults as well (I won't).
Have a nice day and relax. . .as all has been said and we will let others read our positions an decide for themselves who is worth listening to.
Maybe clicking the link to

Yes the union is needed to protect the agents backs. I saw the union have to intercede when a CBP officer shot rattlesnakes that were in a storage shed and he was being railroaded by those up the food chain. Those up the food chain will happily throw agents under the bus at the drop of the hat.
Those that do the actual work in the field and at the ports are overwhelmingly conservative and want to do their jobs. The further up the chain the more liberals there are, and that is the reason they have to have the unions at their back.
The issues Trump will have with those on the ground supporting his policy and those at the top that he chooses also supporting his policy is the liberals that are numerous in between.
“Why do Border Patrol and ICE Agents need a Union?”
I don’t know where their money goes, but if they’re not funding one side or another (and they may not be permitted to do such), then I’M TOTALLY FOR THIS UNION. There aren’t many good unions, particularly in the public sector, but the union here allows them to speak in one voice and that voice is ON OUR SIDE!
“GWB railroaded 2 of them into prison on fake charges and when he left office he commuted their sentences but didn’t pardon them.”
Someone here needs to GET TRUMP’S ATTENTION on this matter, and get them full pardons, so they can go back to work. It was CRIMINAL that Bush didn’t do jack for them - and the people here in Texas were SCREAMING about it...and Bush certainly knew about their plight, but was more interested in pleasing “Fluke the Wall” Vincente Fox.

They are rightly and justly seeking to make America safer again. God bless them and their families.
It will indeed save thousands of lives and billions of dollars.
Can’t go wrong with that the only ones who would disagree hate the hate America first mob.
You be for it, I'll be against it.
Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.
The Border Patrol is the thin line demonstrating that greater love by standing between us and the insidious Mexican cartels.
The union stands between the BP and an administration that for 8 years harassed them to not do their jobs and act instead as nannies for illegals.
Give it a rest, Tex. Go review your home page.
You misunderstand. You were part of a multi-name thread for comment.
What are you talking about? The BP is PART of the government. Why would it need to be protected from its employer?
What is wrong with you people?
Unions exist for two purposes: To fleece the taxpayer and protect scumbags.
I agree - we have bigger things to argue!
...and by the way, I also HATE private labor unions, as they’ve caused as much problems in their country as government unions.
Amen. I hate private sector Unions, as well. But at least I have SOME say in whether or not my money goes to support them. Not so for government Unions.
What are you jumping on me for?
What do you mean, “so what”?
I just explained why the union exists for members of CBP. It serves a purpose, even though it annoys me greatly.
Gotcha - no problem.
