EPISODE 265 : The Elephant in the Room
For this Week’s The Green Line, Art Del Cueto has received mail from angered individuals in response to the recent news reports of a visit by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez to facilities in Texas housing Detainees who have turned themselves in seeking asylum. There have been strong statements from Rep Cortez in the News about the trip which Art calls misleading and untrue to the general public. Statements made by Rep. Cortez regarding a detainee being told to “drink out of a toilet” when requesting water is completely off base. That statement along with others paints a misleading picture of the situation at the holding facility.
The Elephant in the Room which must be addressed is the Facebook Group “I am 10-15.” The National Border Patrol Council has issued an Official Statement regarding this private Facebook group and has spoken out against this group and does not condone the postings and activities and in no way represents the great Men and Woman of the Border Patrol.

The Full statement can be viewed at http://www.bpunion.com
