On this Week’s Episode of The Green Line, Art Del Cueto about handling business for the National Border Patrol Council which has had him covering areas from Tucson to Chula Vista to Houston to Washington D.C! In his travels he has been sharing the news and key points of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Negotiations continue on the separate points outside of the CBA for FLSA.
Art tells us about a ridiculous policy which had the AUSA not prosecuting attacks on Agents. The Tide fortunately is changing and a recent event looks like a prosecution will happen on a reckless escape at a check point which injured an Agent. We learn of the driver and passenger of this vehicle and prior arrest. Art shares a story about a recent visit to a comic book store and a discussion which evolves into politics and an eye opener of how some view Law Enforcement.
Rep. David McKinley of West Virginia is supporting and calling for the addition of Agents. He recently took a trip to McAllen, Texas and commended the work of Agents. Rep. McKinley spoke to those detained and learned of the push from the Mexican Drug Cartels to assist in illegal crossings and lower the cost with the illegal’s carrying drugs across.
Art talks about the departure of Kevin McAleenan from the Administration and how he feels about his leaving the post.
