    This is ridiculous. What about our nation and its citizens safety. We should be outraged!

    im willing to take my fair share, but we as BP agents are being singled out and a 40% pay cut will be devastating to us an out families as well as border security.

    This is not right! My husband is a very dedicated agent with excellent work ethic. He commutes 2 hours each day, never complains, to take away what was promised at time of recruitment is unacceptable!

    Instead of cutting the pay on our WORKING federal employees, lets just not pay the Senators and Congressmen until they pass a budget that is the best for everyone. Cutting law enforcement pay is the STUPIDEST thing they can do.

    Adverse conditions, long hours, 24/7 protection of the border and risking your life are just a few criterias Agents face day to day. Add 40% cuts and Agents will not be able to perform under the above adverse conditions.

    This is so heartbreaking. The sacrifices these guys make every single day and to be so disrespected. God help us all! Everybody just pray, please!

    Despite Congress passing, and the President signing HR 933, it appears that the leadership at DHS/CBP STILL plans to SLASH U.S. Border Patrol agents' PAY. I plead with you to please help us STOP the DRACONIAN CUTS. We (agents) are out on the border every day/night doing our best to keep America safe. We are assaulted, rocked, etc., and this is the thanks that DHS "leadership" gives us???

    My husband works hard to protect our borders. We are not only concerned About this pay cut but about the security of our country and borders. I constantly see illegals and drugs seized on a daily basis. To take this overtime away will drastically affect the way this system and agents work. I worry about the safety of my kids and others. Just a few weeks ago we had illegals in our yard in the middle of the night but thank goodness for my dogs keeping them out and our local agents for apprehending them that next morning. Please consider all factors. Not to mention all the foreclosures and other losses these families face.

    Regardless of how much my family stands to lose from this pay cut, the most important thing to remember here is that our borders will be 40% LESS SECURE!
