    I cannot believe that our government is even considering this action to take away the pay of our heroes who protect our borders and keep us safe every day.

    Just to clarify, Border Patrol agents generally work 10 or more hours overtime per week. They are NOT paid overtime pay @ a higher rate as most people who work over 40 hrs per week are. They are paid their regular pay rate. Anything above 10 hrs per week is paid @ a lesser than regular pay rate.

    Border Patrol is so important! We can't risk the diminishing of this valuable resource. Those who keep us safe by keeping our borders secure are a vital part of what makes our country great.

    All this talk Congress does about border security and you let budget cuts go into effect that will decrease the hours boots are on the ground along the border. Remember border security is no longer just about people entering the country illegally, but it is also about preventing drugs from Mexico and the drug war in Mexico from invading our country any more than they already have. Put the brave men and women of the Border Patrol back where they belong and want to be, protecting our country's border and citizens.
