In a National Rifle Association video posted on Monday, Cantu called the mandatory order a political stunt that comes with very real consequences.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration required all federal workers to be fully vaccinated by Nov. 22 or face termination. A senior official at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said employees who rejected getting the vaccine have been put on notice.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, 79 percent of Border Patrol employees were vaccinated as of Nov. 17. According to Cantu, if those remaining Border Agents are released, every state would become a border state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe federal government is demanding that I either undergo a forced vaccination or lose the livelihood that puts food on my family\u2019s table,\u201d said Cantu. \u201cThat\u2019s my so-called choice. But this isn\u2019t just about me. The border crisis is worse than you can imagine. And if hundreds, even thousands of Border Patrol agents are terminated, it will impact every single American, including my own family here in the Rio Grande Valley.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cantu said his family has already been directly affected. Roy\u2019s wife recounted a recent incident that prompted their entire family to get firearm trained in order to protect themselves.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sheriff-eric-chaboty-nyc-police-union-condemn-release-of-man-who-killed-first-female-nypd-officer\/\">Sheriff Eric Chaboty, NYC Police Union Condemn Release Of Man Who Killed First Female NYPD Officer<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":90,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1142974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1142974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/90"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1142974"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1142974\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1142974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1142974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1142974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
