Largest U.S. border patrol union endorses Trump

Published



The nation’s largest border patrol union endorsed Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Wednesday, marking the first time the union has ever made an endorsement in a presidential election cycle.

In a statement posted to its website, the National Border Patrol Council, which represents more than 16,000 border patrol agents across the U.S, described Trump as someone “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.
