    Ever since sequestration was mentioned in the media involving BP the number in illegal entries have increased significantly! Can't wait to see what happens once we have less agents on the line.......

    Why doesn't Congress and Washington start the cuts with their own salaries? They get the most benefits and rewards with little work or risk.

    My husband served in the US Army and now is a BP agent. He loves our country and defends most of the actions/stands that government takes. He has tiredlessly performed his duties so that MY family as well as others can feel secure living in this country. Is this the way to pay him (as well as many others in his same situation) back for the many years of service to this country? How many of the politicians involved in implementing the sequester have served in our Armed Forces and are they willing to leave their families on holidays, birthdays, even in sickness to go protect our borders? I URGE you to reverse the sequester and Publicly thank all Border Patrol Agents for the GREAT job they do everyday.

    Are you guys Serious?!! Practically telling our Border Patrol agents to find yourself another job! This is not right at all. How about ALL of Congress taking THAT pay cut? I bet y'all wouldn't allow that. No cool guys

    This is so unfair! Please someone stand up and fight for our border patrol agents. They put their lives on the line ever day and this is the way their government treats them. Please do the right thing.
