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.
He said that Trump sought the local's endorsement, though it has a practice of not endorsing.
However, the statement was as close to an endorsement as possible, and was the latest support for Trump given by several influential border state officials.

And he will keep his promises to strengthen the border and stop illegal immigration.
I’m glad this article identified their country of origin... Instead of Latino/Hispanic I think it’s important to identify their ethnic culture. People from latin or central America are not one ethnic group, and there are many immigrants and illegal economic migrants who never cause many problems... country of origin does matter.
I also think we should stop calling them immigrants, if they are undocumented... they are illegal economic migrants. This is the same issue Europe is having, last year 40% of the arrivals were not refugees, and instead economic migrants who have no right to asylum.
