Border Patrol union backs Senate immigration bill despite House GOP opposition
ABC News
The National Border Patrol Council, which represents front-line agents, supports the Senate bill.
The union that represents front-line Border Patrol agents supports the Senate immigration reform bill, saying the new authorities it gives agents to turn migrants away are a key step in the right direction.
That's despite heavy opposition from House Republicans that might scuttle the effort -- at least for the time being.
The National Border Patrol Council has previously endorsed Donald Trump for president and routinely takes hard-line positions on immigration enforcement.
"This is absolutely better than what we currently have," National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told ABC News.
