    If these cuts are forced on our agents there will be a mass exodus of well trained fearless law enforcement officers going to Police Departments nation wide, that will welcome them with open arms and RESPECT.........

    Why on earth would you cut Border Patrol's pay? They secure our borders and many other security issues. I won't feel secure without our Border Patrol! They deserve a raise not a cut. Let Congress cut their own pay instead of giving themselves numerous raises.

    All I need is one of these politician to come work the line with me for a week. I promise they will see that we should not be a pay cut.

    This is unthinkable! What congress is planning to do to those who proudly serve to protect our country is despicable. What about the safety of our country? These precious families should be taken care of--not destroyed financially! I completely agree that government leaders should be the ones to take any necessary cuts first. Isn't that what leaders who actually care about those they are leading do?

    Law makers can make all the decisions and changes as long it does not effect their back pocket.

    The old saying "crap rolls down hill" is true. The Obama, Congress and Senate are not taking a pay 40% pay cut. Why NOT? They should do their part since they made this mess.

    The president and congressmen should all take pay cuts before the first federal employee has to take a cut in pay!

    This is no way to treat the men and women of the Border Patrol who have the important and dangerous job of protecting our nation's borders from terrorists, terrorist weapons, and narcotics smugglers.
