t Hector Garza, president of the National Border Patrol Council Local 2455 chapter, issued a brief statement Thursday morning saying, "After careful consideration of all the factors involved in this event and communicating with members of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) at the National level, it has been decided by Local 2455 to pull out of all events involving Donald Trump."

He said the border with Mexico is "not secure," and an "honest discussion" is needed with the American people. But he expressed concern that a meeting with Trump would have been portrayed as an endorsement.

"As Local 2455, our intentions to meet with Mr. Trump was to provide a 'Boots on the Ground' perspective to not only Mr. Trump, but to the media that would be in attendance at this event," he said. "Just to be clear, an endorsement was never discussed for any presidential candidate. Local 2455 does not endorse candidates for any political office. For these reasons, Local 2455 will not participate in any events with Mr. Trump."

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 !!!
