The local branch of a union of border patrol agents slated to host Donald Trump's visit to the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday has pulled out of the event. In a statement, National Border Patrol Council Local 2455 said: "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." Trump's campaign says it will proceed with his visit in Laredo, Texas, as planned. Local 2455 said that the goal of hosting Trump's visit 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." The union also emphasized that it does not endorse candidates for political office. Trump has been under heavy criticism for his rhetoric about Mexican immigrants, whom he characterized as "rapists" and "criminals" last month when he announced his presidential run. In a statement, Trump's campaign said that the local brnach was "were totally silenced directly from superiors in Washington who do not want people to know how bad it is on the border --- every bit as bad as Mr. Trump has been saying." "It is unfortunate the local union of Border Patrol Agents received pressure at a national level not to participate and ultimately pulled out of today's event. They are being silenced, and are very unhappy about it, as told directly to Mr. Trump," the campaign said.

I would show up with the minutemen if I was Trump and veterans. Make it a positive that the union pulled out - make it about how this is a problem, etc.
In reality, word came down from the black house: " You mofo's don't go, or I will fire your asses! " Si vis pacem, para bellum
The Donald was referring to illegal aliens, not immigrants. It's sad that this "National Border Patrol Council" can't tell the difference. The National Border Patrol Council is a labor union that represents agents and support staff on the United States Border Patrol. It is an affiliate of the American Federation of Government Employees, and through that larger organization is a member of the AFL-CIO. Yep. And that's a news story right there. Who ordered it? Is there a border cover-up going on? Does this mean the border is NOT secure? Think it will be reported?
Yep. And he wasn't referring to all of them.
Thanks for posting that video. I enjoyed watching it. I am sure Ovomit, the establishment Repukes, and the demoncraps are not happy that Trump is down on the border. Si vis pacem, para bellum
Think it will be reported? " Reported?? No way! But it should! As you said, it is a news story right there. I suspect Trump will get that stirred up. You know those orders came from the HNIC Si vis pacem, para bellum
Alas, GWBush called us "vigilantes" and fractured the entire organization along with Mel and Gatlin. There are just a few of left anymore guarding & defending the borders and I refuse to see Trump anywhere.
That's because you were Republican tools
