Trump Organization Vice President and special counsel to Donald Trump Michael Cohen said tonight on "Hannity" that the National Border Patrol Council put pressure on border patrol agents to cancel a meeting with Trump at the U.S.-Mexico border today.
Cohen said he believes that the union told the local chapter to step aside or there would be "problems."
He said that this doesn't change the simple fact that there's a real immigration problem in this country, and reform is necessary.
Cohen said that the liberal media is going after Trump right now for drawing attention to illegal immigration and the failures of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"What the media is doing is they're looking to divide," Cohen said. "They're looking to make Mr. Trump into the outsider, which by the way he is. He's not a politico. He's a mega-billionaire real estate developer, celebrity, author, movie star, etc. That's what he is. He's not a politico. And they're afraid."

I could live with a “President Trump”
Personally, I would like to see him as vice president to a President Cruz.
I agree with that. At least Trump doesn’t backtrack, make excuses, and grovel when he makes a mistake. A leader with balls. I’d prefer Cotton as the veep to Cruz, but he can still do good work in his position. Eight years from now, Cotton? We’ll see.
Well, we could certainly do a LOT worse - looking at you Jeb, Huckster, Rubio, Christie, Kasich, Graham et al.
My ignorance is showing—who is Cotton?
am I wrong, or didn’t the Duke say that in The Searchers? Your photo is from one of the cavalry movies.
Conservative junior senator from Arkansas (current youngest at 37), J.D. from Harvard Law, served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In November 2016:
I will vote for either Cruz or Walker.
I would vote for Trump.
I might vote for Fiorina.
I will not vote for anyone else.
Trump is extreme conservative on these issues:
1. Illegals
2. Military
3. Veterans
4. Foreign trade (biggest factor in lack of jobs here)
5. Obamacare (Trump will cancel Obamacare with executive order and propose private sector cost effective healthcare)
6. Balanced budgets
7. Iran
8. ISIS
9. Infra structure
That is enough conservative for me.

That's your worry?
Cruz/Trump 2016?
Sounds like a great guy! Somehow, I’ve missed that is running for president.
I’d vote for that duo-with a big smile on my face!
“Donald Trump’s going to be the Republican candidate.”
It certainly now appears that way, and it looks as if the media and even people on this site are starting to accept it.
It’s basically, now, Trump’s to lose. He can step into it by going against us on a core issue, like gun rights, but he hasn’t yet showed any signs of doing that.
One bad word on guns and I'm done.
I'm not talking about anything he has said before he became a candidate, but anything after that.
Otherwise, so far, he has my cautious endorsement and vote.
I wish the border patrol would have told their council to take their threats of “problems” and shove them where the sun don’t shine.
“That is enough conservative for me.”
Me too. If Trump came out against gun rights tomorrow, I’d probably still support him, because his position doesn’t matter, considering that he’d have to get legislation through Congress, and that is, perhaps, the only issue where Republicans have shown backbone.
In fact, Obama’s most significant legislation that he got to sign was the NRA-backed bill that permits concealed carry in national parks. LOL.
