    This is simply wrong. Why not cut Biden's $1million Paris soiree instead?

    Please stop CBP Acting Commissioner Winkowski from taking the pay of all the hard working agents of the Border Patrol!

    Sen. Mary Landrieu, I am a Border Patrol Agent working in Arizona and even though I do not live in your district or state, I just wanted to let you know what is going on in my agency. I know you are the chairman Senate Appropriations homeland security subcommittee, and I wanted to let your committee know that even though CBP is going to receive approximately 9 billion dollars for the remainder of this fiscal year, the acting assistant commissioner is still planning to de-certify our Availibility Uncontrollable Overtime pay. This Senator is a travesty because the new commissioner Winkowski comes from the Office of Field Operations or Legacy Customs. The new commissioner is used to working like a customs officer, as in only working eight hours and maybe overtime if they needed the officers to stay. The thing is the difference between Border Patrol Agents and Custom Officers is that we are field agents. We have to be relieved an hour later after working eight hours; and that is if we are not in the desert or in the mountains chasing a group of aliens. It is not feasible for this commissioner to think that he can commission an agency like he did when he was with the Office of Field Operations. So I plead with you to make the heads of CBP answer why they can't properly budget our AUO with this new bill. I thank you for service and just to let you know that I am one of the few Democrats in the Border Patrol.
