I remember Bush getting in trouble for the same thing. That turned out to be because that is what the head of the BP in Texas told him.
I wouldn't be surprised if much of this stuff is coming from the BP union, assuming there is one separate from the regular federal employees union. Unions are unions no matter where or whom and they are all Democrat stooges.

Chill out and be surprised, and don't blame the BP Union without facts, they are asking their agents for confirmation on the article they are not all democrat stooges, they are law enforcement officers and many are/were Republicans:

also they support the Minutemen:
T J Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol Council, credited the Minutemen with raising awareness of a problem that he said too many people overlook. "The key help that the Minuteman movement gives us is focusing public attention on the security of our borders and the difficult job that we have in maintaining it," Bonner said. "It's not necessarily doing the Border Patrol's job or even spotting illegals for them."
Bonner said he shares the desire for better security along America's borders. "Illegal immigrants are everywhere. And in many cases they're taking jobs that Americans would like to have."
He also blamed illegal aliens for eventually causing lower wages for unskilled labor jobs. "There are plenty of Americans who want their jobs. It's just most people can't afford those jobs anymore. When the jobs paid 18 dollars an hour, there was no shortage of people willing to take those jobs," Bonner said.
However, protecting the nation against terrorism should be a more pressing concern than jobs, Bonner said. "For every person we catch, two or three slip by us," he said. "When it's that easy for a regular person to slip across the border, think about how easy it is for someone who's very well trained and very well financed."
The border patrol "rank and file as a rule are very appreciative of the work the Minuteman Project [does to bring] attention to the job we do," Bonner added. At the same time, he said there is a large element of danger to which the Minutemen need to pay attention.

With that sentiment you and I are in total agreement.
