The largest local union of Border Patrol agents in the country has declared its support for the Minuteman Project in Arizona, while at the same time slamming both the American Civil Liberties Union and President Bush.
According to its website, the U.S. Border Patrol Local 2544, which covers the Tucson sector of the agency, the volunteers involved in the border-monitoring Minuteman Project have been nothing but supportive.
"We want to make it clear – because we've had a lot of questions about this – we have not had one single complaint from a rank-and-file agent in this sector about the Minutemen," says a statement on the site. "Every report we've received indicates these people are very supportive of the rank-and-file agents; they're courteous. Many of them are retired firefighters, cops, and other professionals, and they're not causing us any problems whatsoever."
The group blames the ACLU for setting off ground sensors in the area of the Minutemen activities.
Mark's Remarks
Wow...the Border Patrol Union supports citizens defending their borders by simply calling in the authorities. If this were a liberal union, we would hear talk of encroaching on authoritiy, etc. The Border Agents get it: we need to protect our borders. We can no longer give a cursory wink to illegals crossing the border. We must send them back for disrespecting the laws of our land. If they want to come here, do so legally.
