Non-endorsement

From Greg Pierce from the Washington Times.

Interesting that they are from Arizona.

Non-endorsement
Local 2544 of the
National Border Patrol Council, the largest union among the nation's force of
rank-and-file U.S. Border Patrol agents, has yet to endorse anyone for
president, but it is taking aim at one particular candidate, reporter Jerry
Seper writes in his immigration blog at www3.washingtontimes.com/blogs.
"We
will not endorse Sen. John McCain, even though he is currently representing our
home state of Arizona," the union local said in a posting on its Web
page.
The union said Mr. McCain "has never been serious about immigration
enforcement, and he has never been serious about supporting the Border Patrol,"
adding that the Republican senator has routinely "minimized and trivialized" the
illegal-immigration problem in this country. It said the only "solution" he has
ever offered is a massive new amnesty program designed to reward illegal aliens
who have succeeded in violating the nation's laws."
