    Border Patrol union: 'Trump is the only candidate' to support agents

    By PAUL BEDARD • 3/19/16 8:45 AM

    The largest U.S. Border Patrol union local is praising Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for being the "only candidate" to support their tough mission, an almost endorsement that is the latest boost for the front runner's campaign.

    "Mr. Trump is the only candidate that has publicly expressed his support of our mission and our agents. He has been an outspoken candidate on the need for a Secure Border and for this we are grateful," said a statement from Art Del Cueto, president of Local 2544 of the National Border Patrol Council, the representative of 18,000 agents.



    He said that Trump sought the local's endorsement, though it has a practice of not endorsing.

    However, the statement was as close to an endorsement as possible, and was the latest support for Trump given by several influential border state officials.

    The statement, issued Friday, in full is below:

    DONALD TRUMP

    On March 18, 2016, Donald Trump's campaign reached out to Local 2544 about a potential endorsement. I informed Mr. Trump's campaign that NBPC had long standing practice of not endorsing Presidential candidates and that as the President of Local 2544, and I would continue to adhere to that practice.

    However, the National Border Patrol Council and Local 2544 are pleased to inform voters that Mr. Trump is the only candidate that has publicly expressed his support of our mission and our Agents. He has been an outspoken candidate on the need for a Secure Border and for this we are grateful.

    The American public has continually called for a secure border and Donald Trump has promised to make this desire a reality. His campaign has expressed an interest in a Border Patrol's Agent's perspective and a tour of our border, that we will gladly provide. We do not seek to give tours but if asked we will happily provide a tour that gives a realistic idea of what our Agents face on a daily basis. Donald Trump is the only candidate who has expressed this interest.

    We are confident that the National Border Patrol Council's longstanding message about the unsecured border and much needed support for our Agents will be received well by Mr. Trump. The American public deserves to be secure in their own country and we encourage all voters to consider that candidate that has the political will to make it happen.

    Look here, Trump is the ONLY ONE who can and will do anything the vast majority of American citizens want done. We want our trade deals fixed so they benefit US. He's rattled the cage on this for almost 30 years. We want our borders secured, illegal aliens deported, a pause on immigration, and a better system that if and when we need more people, we have a system that brings in the best people legally. We want our education, healthcare, and infrastructure fixed. We want peace, we want peace in Israel between the Israelis and Palestinians, I'm so sick of this feud they have over there about whose real estate is whose, FIX IT. Trump is the ONLY ONE who wants to do these things for our country, Trump is the ONLY ONE with the education, experience, common sense, intelligence and unwavering loyalty to the American People who both wants to fix our problems and has the competence and capability to do so.

    What Republican opponents, Republican Establishment, Democrats and Horrible Media have done to mar the the Trump candidacy is historical and unprecedented, but yet he fights on, and yes he wins.

    That's the difference between these Reptilian Losers and a Natural Born Leader.

    Donald Trump is the only person in the race who cares about or has an interest in any of us, regardless of our race, religion, gender or .... whatever.
