    This massive budget cut will severely impact the morale of Border Patrol agents who risk their lives defending our borders. Please think of the families of these agents that depend on the salaries they were promised when they moved from all over the country. The borders are not even close to being secure!

    This shows how CBP thinks about the Border Patrol and our mission!

    To reduce our boarder agents is putting out a welcoming mat to terrorists. They are already crossing the boarders and you can't find them now. We need more patrols on the boarder now more then ever. It is your duty and job to keep us safe not put us in danger! Do your JOB! By cutting back you are only lining you pockets! Stop the insanity and start acting like a government for the people!

    Cartels are being handed the keys to the border. All immigration reform talk needs to seize. The compromising of border security while simultaneously handing out unmerited green cards is egregious act against the American people.

    Stop cutting "spending" from those that go to work for you everyday. Cut welfare and spending where people don't do a service for their "paycheck".

    Please, JUST furlough us. That would only be a ~10% cut. Most are willing to contribute to solving our current mess. Removing compensatory pay (AUO) to the tune of an additional ~32% is unfair, unrealistic, and unsafe for the country.
