Border Patrol union pulls out of Trump meeting [My Take: They were threatened]
Fox ^ | 7/23/15

Posted on 07/23/2015 8:05:54 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

A local Texas union of Border Patrol officers announced Thursday it was pulling out of a scheduled meeting with Donald Trump, who is making a high-profile trip to the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Republican presidential candidate announced the trip a day earlier as he tries to draw attention to illegal immigration and border security, saying he was "invited by the Border Patrol" because "I'm speaking up."

I think he’ll go soft on the workers but kill the leadership.

I’m watching the House hearings on sanctuary cities..

Luis Gutierrez just busted gut over the criticism on his “it’s a little thing”

He was “hurt by the comments” apparently..

The hearings started at 10 AM..this happened about 11:15

I tried to listen to the Iran hearings earlier but the lies and treason coming from Kerry et al was making me sick..

Rather than keep on yelling at my poor innocent computer “Who’s going to make them/ who’s going to stop them” I changed to the other important hearing..

right now Jackson-Lee is busy crying over “the young DREAMers” and about how the po lil illegal aliens are “preyed upon” because they don’t speak English etc,

Stupid move on Union's Part. Only builds a case against them. For them to say they don't endorse any candidate....is BS. And Trump isn't asking them to endorse him.

Gives Trump TWO items to hit....the border and unions.

Walker just hit the unions in Wisconsin.

This isn’t the 18th century. Sanctuary cities shouldn’t be. We are supposedly a nation of laws. These are lawbreakers.

(Scoff) Donald knows e-v-e-r-y-thing he needs to know-—even before he gets to the border.

Obama’s a such a clueless bum-—not everybody cowers and sweats when he gives an order.

I’m betting Trump comments about being shut out by the BPS union when he’s on the ground at the border today. I hope he does.

yes they are not really sanctuary cities..

sanctuary cities as described in the Bible were not meant as hideouts for illegal aliens..

Any business person is going to have to deal with unions — good or bad.

The agents want him there. The unions don’t. (Wonder why?)

Was it a Hillary call or Obama?

Oh, wait....Hillary called Obama and suggested the threat.

“sanctuary cities as described in the Bible were not meant as hideouts for illegal aliens..”

Read John 10 : 1

“1 “I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.”

Another action and move that in reality STRENGTHENS Trump and WHAT he represents in the eyes of the American people.
