Donald Trump picked up yet another key endorsement from a border security agency this week, no doubt buoyed by his promise that border patrol agents will have a direct line to the white house during a Trump presidency.
In an official statement first obtained by Breitbart Texas, the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) endorsed Donald Trump for President of the United States. The unusually bold statement comes just days after a senior policy adviser for Trump made clear that future U.S. border security policy would be largely determined by the men and women of the U.S. Border Patrol who are actual agents protecting the border and not by politically-appointed bureaucrats in the Border Patrol or its parent agency, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), if Trump is elected.
Read and excerpt of the NBPC’s endorsement of the Republican frontrunner below:
March 30, 2016
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.
Donald may have started the endorsement game far behind the establishment, but he’s made up the difference and them some since voting has started. People are beginning to realize that Donald is the real thing, and his support is growing as a result.
The union is going against their part
A union representing US border patrol agents has endorsed Donald Trump for president. The move marks the first endorsement in history of the National Border Patrol Council. It also opposes the group’s parent organization, which endorsed Hillary Clinton.The NBPC, which represents up to 18,000 Border Patrol agents, according to Federal Times, previously voiced displeasure over the December 2015 endorsement of Clinton by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), its parent organization. On Tuesday, the union openly endorsed Trump, who is leading in the Republican primary contests.
This is the same union that reportedly pressured its Laredo, Texas chapter to back out of a meeting with Trump during the candidate’s scheduled visit to the US-Mexican border last July.
“There is no greater physical or economic threat to Americans today than our open border. And there is no greater political threat than the control of Washington by special interests,” the group said in a letter endorsing Trump.
