A Border Patrol union is blasting Hillary Clinton's plan to keep America's borders open and grant amnesty to illegal immigrants already living in the U.S.
"Clinton and Obama both agree that they must appease the radical extremists in their party's furthest fringe," the National Border Patrol Council said in a
lengthy statement posted to its website Thursday, hours before Clinton formally accepts the Democratic party's presidential nomination at the Philadelphia convention.
"Unfortunately, the citizens who were victimized by criminal aliens paid the cost of that appeasement, as well as cities that were flooded with meth and heroin, and the crimes associated with the illegal drug trade.
"President Obama and Secretary Clinton fail to recognize we live in a world where religious and political fanatics are actively plotting to harm U.S. citizens at home and abroad. Instead of investing in measures to secure our nation's borders, they have openly and actively pursued what Secretary of State John Kerry called a 'borderless world.'"
The statement continues by saying Clinton's "immigration plan embraces and expands the Obama policies that created the 'Era of No Consequences.'
"Secretary Clinton's call for amnesty in her first 100 days and expanding these dangerous policies demonstrates her deeply alarming willingness to sell out the security of American families to advance her political or financial interests."
