No way these guys are “a union representing border patrol agents”—just another group of RWNJs. The article on their homepage is a statement on a Breitbart report.
Here is what their website says their mission is:
The NBPC Mission
We are the guardians of non-supervisory Border Patrol Agents and support personnel assigned to the United States Border Patrol.
We protect Border Patrol Agents against frivolous lawsuits, overzealous prosecutors, and unwarranted or disparate administrative actions.
We safeguard conditions of employment, agreements, practices, employee rights, and the labor laws of the United States.
We strive to ensure a fair and equitable workplace free from favoritism, intimidation, disparate treatment, and harassment.
We investigate and report fraud, waste, and abuse within the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Border Patrol…
We seek to preserve the Border Patrol motto: “Honor First” and the oath of office sworn by all Border Patrol Agents.
We promote immigration laws and policies that contribute to the security of the United States and oppose policies that restrict the sworn duties of Border Patrol Agents.
We represent the employees with honor, judiciousness, and professionalism.
Exactly. I have neighbors who have waited 10 years to take their citizenship tests, but whoo-boy when they do…they are ecstatic…the pride and accomplishment is a source for jubilation. It should never be one of derision, contempt or ridicule. That is what is so galling about the Trump anti-immigrant card that fucker continues to play.
Setting the base up for his electoral defeat. It couldn’t possibly be because he’s not qualified and enough people figured it out and voted for Clinton.
I could put you before a panel of 50 Trump supporters and have you tell them this story and detail your expertise in the field. When you were done they’d pronounce in unison you were lying. That’s what we’re up against. Citizens impervious to facts. Citizens choosing to create an alternate reality they’re comfortable living in. It does one no good to refute lies and implausible claims. The lives of Trump loyalists are comprised of lies and implausible claims. Denial is the foundation of their existence.
"Pour into the country?", says an Orange Anal Drip who appears to have gotten his information from Born In East L.A. movie (if you haven’t seen it, sorry for the spoiler)
The only and I mean ONLY people in Dallas who will do that anymore are immigrants, usually Hispanic. It gets 120 degrees up on a roof in Texas in July and nobody else will climb up there with a bucket of hot tar except immigrant crews.
Trump supporters will look you in the eye and claim their are U.S. citizens clamoring for such work, and employers hiring immigrants to do it is robbing them of work. However, I’d bet my IRA when they solicited three quotes for a new roof, installed by firms paying prevailing wages and giving their roofers full benefits, they’d scream bloody murder about how goddamned expensive it was for a new roof.
Apologies in advance, but I’m gonna beat my communications drum again: Democrats, including President Obama and Hillary Clinton, should respond to this horseshit immediately. State the facts as you did, and publicly call Trump an ignorant liar. Letting Trump’s statement go unchallenged lends it credence that it doesn’t deserve.
Ehem…I think people are missing the fact that a person can’t be “made” a citizen the moment they are allowed into our country. My recollection is that they must first be a legal resident and then after 5 years they can apply for citizenship. So isn’t the basic premise of this blurb and the statement supposedly made by Del Cueto flat out wrong? What am I missing?
When will a “Real Journalist” (an endangered species) do the patriotic thing and smack the Orange Buffoon down by calling him a LIAR on national TV in front of millions?
Not “factually incorrect” or “misspeaking” or “bending the truth” or “that doesn’t agree with the facts” but CALL HIM A LIAR TO HIS FACE.
We need an Edward R. Murrow to save this country from itself.
I know it is “Diogenes searching for an Honest Man” but Oh. Your. God. he is now lying his ass off and NOBODY WILL CHALLENGE HIM ON IT!
Weep for America.
I’ve said this before but also a whole lot of money comes into Texas across that border every day. Texas makes a lot of money off our border. People cross every day to spend money on the US side for things they can’t get in Mexico, or just because they like shopping in the states.
Only 32 day left and this national nightmare candidate will be finished.
I sent out my absentee ballot today. Voted straight DEM in Indiana. I was heartened by recent poll showing Trump only leading 43-38 with Gregg and Bayh holding slim leads in a red state.
These comments by Trump are just NOISE. The bright side is when Trump makes these type of comments. Trump is actually spinning his defeat on Nov 8th. I put it at 50 - 50 Trump concedes to Hillary after he hopefully loses. I am not concerned about the next 2 debates. Hillary has went off to prepare while Trump is out campaigning meaning he is not preparing.
Talk to an alcoholic that’s quit drinking. Or a cancer survivor that’s finished treatment and is in remission. It’s never finished. They’re left with a sickness they have to be wary of and fend off the rest of their lives. Trump has metastasized. He’s infected the culture. Election day won’t be the end of the sickness he’s wrought.
