On August 19, retired Border Patrol agent Zack Taylor will speak at event in Lakewood, Colorado, organized by the Colorado Tea Party Patriots and Arapahoe Tea Party. Taylor is chairman of the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers and is largely considered an authority on border security and immigration issues by anti-immigrant groups like the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and NumbersUSA as well as far-Right media outlets like Breitbart.
Taylor regularly speaks at meetings of far-Right groups – specifically in his home state of Arizona. On July 28, he and disgraced former state senator Russell Pearce were featured speakers at a meeting of the Red Mountain Patriots in Mesa.
