16,500 U.S. Border Patrol Agents Endorse Donald Trump

A Historic Endorsement From the National Border Patrol Council:

“The National Border Patrol Council is the official organization representing our nation’s Border Patrol Agents. We represent 16,500 agents who selflessly serve this country in an environment where our own political leaders try to keep us from doing our jobs.

The NBPC has had a longstanding practice of not endorsing presidential candidates in the primaries. We will not, however, shy away from voicing our opinions as it pertains to border security and the men and women of the United States Border Patrol. As such, we are breaking with our past practice and giving our first-ever endorsement in a presidential primary. We think it is that important: if we do not secure our borders, American communities will continue to suffer at the hands of gangs, cartels and violent criminals preying on the innocent. The lives and security of the American people are at stake, and the National Border Patrol Council will not sit on the sidelines.

As an organization we expect our elected officials to aggressively pursue the interests of the country. America has already tried a young, articulate freshman senator who never created a job as an attorney and under whose watch criminal cartels have been given the freest border reign ever known.

Unlike his opponents, Donald Trump is not a career politician, he is an outsider who has created thousands of jobs, pledged to bring about aggressive pro-American change, and who is completely independent of special interests. We don’t need a person who has the perfect Washington-approved tone, and certainly NOT another establishment politician in the W.H. Indeed, the fact that people are more upset about Mr. Trump’s tone than about the destruction wrought by open borders tells us everything we need to know about the corruption in Washington.

We need a person in the White House who doesn’t fear the media, who doesn’t embrace political correctness, who doesn’t need the money, who is familiar with success, who won’t bow to foreign dictators, who is pro-military and values law enforcement, and who is angry for America and NOT subservient to the interests of other nations. Donald Trump is such a man.

Mr. Trump is as bold and outspoken as other world leaders who put their country’s interests ahead of all else. Americans deserve to benefit for once instead of always paying and apologizing. Our current political establishment has bled this country dry, sees their power evaporating, and isn’t listening to voters who do all the heavy lifting. Trump is opposed by the established powers specifically because they know he is the only candidate who actually threatens the established powers that have betrayed this country”. (read more)

I think their opinion should carry a lot of weight.

If they don’t, they are making money somehow with illegals!

YUUUUGE!!

The entire endorsement statement is fantastic. I especially liked this....

Amen!!!

Thanks for posting, onyx!

There can be no more important endorsement than this. If we don’t secure our border, nothing else will matter, we’ll no longer be a free and sovereign nation. We’ll just be another third world hell-hole.

The border patrol people seek that work and take their work seriously. I have spoken with a lot of them in Laredo, McAllen and Harlingen. They are all frustrated that they are hamstringed and are not allowed to do their jobs. These people understand the importance of their jobs, but are not allowed to actually do their jobs.

I hope that one day we have a President that really protects our border from invaders and lets the BP do their job.

Currently we have a POTUS that is on the side of the invaders and not on our side.

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.

good people that KNOW !.....

You know , I have always liked Ted Cruz and appreciated what he has done in the Senate . A fearless stalwart who stood up to both obvious and clear foe ( the Dem bastards) and supposed allies ( the Repub bastards) alike .

Yet when I see him today ; I cannot help but envision him making a stalwart , clear and erudite concession speech , humbly and honorably saying that “ while we fought a good fight , it was now time for the nation to accept ‘ the will of the people ‘ and try and get behind the victor of the election “ .... President Sanders or Clinton .

Forget it ! I am sick of losing to those that have NO RIGHT to the so-called victory ! Our nation is going down the tubes ,while we stand with our noble ( and 100% corrupted ) electoral traditions . No more electoral victories to these pigs , no more losses , no more humble Conservatives concession speeches , admitting defeat , to these idiots . . I do not care what it takes , or how we get there ; I want victory for REAL American patriots and our American future guaranteed (again)
Ted will lose . IF we all got together , and as Allen West once said “ it’s time to take their Alinsky rules and drive them back through them “ that it’s time for “ the bayonet !”

Get your bayonets folks . I got mine . No more losers , for God’s sake . Enough !

Woo-Hoo! Maybe we can overcome the push by GOPe, get Trump to 1237, and finally have someone in the Oval Office that understands the border can’t continue the way it is. Prayers!

[Big Red Badger]

Oh Yeah !

Just one of the paragraphs I liked from the endorsement:

“We need a person in the White House who doesn’t fear the media, who doesn’t embrace political correctness, who doesn’t need the money, who is familiar with success, who won’t bow to foreign dictators, who is pro-military and values law enforcement, and who is angry for America and NOT subservient to the interests of other nations. Donald Trump is such a man.”
