I am not sure how you can justify reducing someones paycheck by 40%. These men and women go to work everyday defending their country and putting their lives on the line and you expect them to have to worry about paying their bills on top of that????Mar 21st, 2013Someone from Rancho Cucamonga, CA signed.

No pay for politicians untill a budget is passed, no foreigh aid to anyone untill we balance our budget. Term limits for house and congress. No special retirement pay for them either!REPORT COMMENTS

These men can't afford these cuts. Most of them have families and already spend many nights away from home. Cuts in pay will cause intense stress and hardship among these agents and their families.REPORT COMMENTS

We do need to cut our spending as a nation, but lets cut waste or entitlements, not the security of the borders. I've written my Congressmen who's district is in the Rio Grande Valley TX. I guess he doesn't think the district he is supposed to be representing needs protection. I guess he hasn't heard about the drug wars or the violence in Reynosa, just 7 miles from one of his offices.REPORT COMMENTS

Totally a slap in the face to all those who risk their lives for our safety, as is the sequester for the DOJ employees who work around the clock to keep us safe. The American people should not have to "shoulder the burden" of our government's inability to sit down and make a budget and stick to it.REPORT COMMENTS

Do some research on Border Patrol before cutting salaries. BP helps other Agencies enforce their laws such as DEA, ATF, Customs, and even Department of Agriculture. Who gets credit at the end of the year for all the drugs, weapons, currency, and property Border Patrol seize?REPORT COMMENTS

I am convinced this is another part of the plan to destroy America as we know it. This is nothing short of subsersive and treason on the part of our elected officials and beaurocracyREPORT COMMENTS

Totally crazy! reform the government that is bankrupting our country. These men and women were hired to serve and protect our borders, do them justice. How many years has it been under democratic control that we can not decide on passing a budget.REPORT COMMENTS
