    The government leaders seem to find it do easy to make rash decisions in cutting pay and hours from those who protect and serve so diligently while giving to those and even themselves without thought. We bail out companies, let CEOs have huge bonuses without a blink but think nothing of cutting budgets of those eho protect our borders and military. The danger to our country within is rapidly increasing. Terrorists and madmen will overrun our borders if we do not protect ourselves. Let our brave men and women do their jobs with the peace of mind that they can provide for their families. Support those who risk their lives on a daily basis for our much valued freedom!

    This paycut is beyond ridiculous. USBP agents risk their lives on a daily basis. Families will be affected at all levels. This is not fair at all.

    These agents risk their lives on a daily basis. With all these cutbacks our nation's border will not be well protected.

    Our government is not listening to the people. We do not want millions going aid other countries. We want our borders secure. We want our Border Patrol Agents to be paid. Do not stop paying their overtime and exempt them from furloughs.
