    Our agents work tirelessly and put their lives at risk on a day to day basis so we can all sleep safely at night. Out nation is being put at risk, and more and more illegals are crossing and taking advantage of this situation. it is time to stop this nonsense and get priorities straight. Apparently the government is not broke since they continue to give millions of dollars to other countries. SMDH

    The agents do so much to keep our borders under control yet our brainless president seems to not care. Hope you guys get the signatures you need.

    I seen better organization by the Vietnamese putting out a fire with buckets. They did it without our help. The Patrol and CBP personnel deserve better than what the U.S. GOV'T plans.

    This pay cut going to bring down moral of agents that work hard to protect our country and their families. Stop giving money to these people who come from mexico and get free medical and college. .. watch the food stamp process a little more more things can be cut!

    "They are protecting our nation's borders from terrorists, terrorist weapons, illegal aliens and narcotics smugglers. if need be Congress needs to take a cut in pay to help cover the cost."

    If you believe in this country then you must protect our borders, this border issue doesn't happen anywhere else in the world, Washington needs to wake up and do the job we pay them for with all of our taxes

    I am writing to express my concerns of myself and the families on the possible sequestration of the budget of the United States Border Patrol. If the budget cuts do actually happen, not only will tens of thousands of families be negatively affected but also the US economy its self will suffer. Agents across the Nation will be impacted by more than 30 percent of their household income. More than 30 percent, this will not only force these families to make tremendous budget cuts, it will send many into debt, and foreclosure of their homes. Please help by getting your people to push the issue to NOT make these drastic cuts in the income of hard working, men and woman across America. Help our economy and families of America! Thank you, Patrol Agent DHS/CBP/USBP Coastal Border Enforcement Team
