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."

It is a great day to see a GOP candidate fill his trousers properly for a change.

Go Donald!! You’ve got our back and we’ve got yours!!

This is all the fault of Brandon Darby of Breitbart.com, who revealed his “exclusive” about Donald’s plans at the border that Trump did NOT want publicized. The idiot Darby gave the AFL-CIO heads up and lots of time to kill it. Trump wanted to surprise everyone with a visit and presser. IDIOT!

Bad move on the part of Obama plus Hector (No-Cajones) Garza plus Hector's cowardly (No-Cajones) fellow union officers ....(all innocent union members excepted).

Hitler banned and burned books some 75 years ago, but they're still being read today. Meaning....the concerned border patrol boots-on-the-ground with stories to tell are no dummies.....and will not be silenced. They'll find one way or another to convey their messages to Mr. Trump.....because you can burn, censor, coerce, threaten...but TRUTH WILL ALWAYS OUT !!!

In the Bible, under the Law of Moses, 40 cities were named as sanctuary cities..

they were not designated to be hideouts for criminals like illegal aliens...

They were “cities of refuge” that a man who had ACCIDENTLY killed someone could flee to so that the victims family could not take revenge on the “manslayer”..he stayed there until the death of the current high priest..

While the man was inside the walls/gates of that city, he was safe from retribution from the victims kkinfolk...to a point..

he could still be killed himself but if that happened then the family member who did so would be guilty of murder and put to death...and the rest of the family dishonored and disgraced..

However if the man left the city and was killed outside the walls then the victim’s family member who did the deed was not guilty of murder but could go free..

and if a man DELIBERATELY murdered someone and fled to one of these cities he would be arrested and sent back to his own city and sentenced to death...the city of refuge was not to be used to hide/protect a criminal..

consequently since this law was so sacred and honored there was few times it was ever broken..

from the Middle Ages and on the sanctuary law was misused as a way to have protection from enemies seeking to kill and harm the innocent Christians..

Monks and nuns pledged their lives to protect anyone under the roof of a church or monastery ...and the enemies, Christian and non-Christian alike were suppose to honor the situation of “sanctuary” ...and not “break through” to get to the “refugees”...

But it wasn’t suppose to be that way..that wasn’t real “sanctuary”...

Meanwhile getting back to the illegal aliens...

sanctuary cities were to protect the innocent who had not committed a crime but had accidently killed someone..

they were never meant to harbor criminals such as they are now...

they were meant to protect the manslayer from the revenge of the family, not to hide him from the law..he was under the protection of the local law because he accidently killed someone not because he was a law breaking illegal alien...

Numbers 35, Deuteronomy 19

I don’t expect it to be pretty, but I DO expect it to be conclusive.

Read John 10 : 1

“... 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.”

Too 'nuanced' for liberals...

(Good one Stephen...)

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

I was watching part of Schindler's list (1993) last night.

The libs in those cities see the illegals being arrested as the Jews being rounded up in Europe under the Nazi's, and as that they are bravely standing up to protect and hide them as a few Europeans did..

Interesting point, montag. A good journalist might have asked the candidate for a ride along in exchange for holding the story.....everyone wins.
