The presidential hopeful will visit the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday
The
union representing border patrol agents has backed out of a tour with
Donald Trump when he visits the U.S.-Mexico border Thursday.
“After
careful consideration of all the factors involved in this event and
communicating with members of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC)
at the National level,
it has been decided by Local 2455 to pull out of all events involving
Donald Trump,” the Laredo, Texas branch of the union said in a
statement.
Trump’s
office put out a statement Thursday saying, “Despite the great danger,
Mr. Trump is traveling to Laredo, TX to proceed with the visit to the
border” and that Local
2455 “[was] totally silenced directly from superiors in Washington who
do not want people to know how bad it is on the border — every bit as
bad as Mr. Trump has been saying.”
Trump’s
trip to Texas was sure to stir up controversy, as the billionaire real
estate mogul and presidential candidate has taken a hard line on
immigration since his announcement
speech, when he first referred to illegal immigrants as “rapists.”
