    Our country needs the protection on the borders. Everyday people or contraban of some kind cross our borders. I live in an area where it happens dailly. The Texas border is very dangerious for our guys. Changes are posssible but not this way. Seriously, if the government would start cutting back on welfare and being without within 2-3 yrs.(But keep free health care for children only). And, starting with all governing bodies, even the President and Congress take a paycut, do away with 2nd & 3rd home, downsize to less expensive cars. Stop spending thousands of dollars on dinners and dressing. They can eat like the rest of us. Nothing can beat a good steak and potato dinner! Not necessary to spend thousands of dollare on a dress designed by someone just to impress others. It doesnt change who we are on the inside or out. Be more like the people they are leading. What a great example that would be. After all this the greatest country. Think how much money right there would be saved and be used else where. Just my thoughts.

    I think it is a disgrace upon our nation to ask that these brave men and women shoulder nearly ALL the burden in helping bail out a government that has turned its back on them!

    These agents are risk just like the Marines and you didn't cut their pay or allowances. You shouldn't cut the Border Patrol either. All the drug smugglers and Terrorists will simply wait until "Furlough Fridays" to sneak in - except they won't have to sneak, they can walk in with a full marching band because no one will be left to see them. Reference Demming, NM on a Friday two weeks ago. Two large bands of illegals were captured because they thought the "Furlough Fridays" had already started. FIX THIS NOW!!!
