Here we go again! Maybe the cuts should start at the top. 40% of congressional salaries and top manangement wages would go a long way. No Border Patrol Agent is asking for anything more than to paid for protecting our borders. There are other areas where cuts can made without sacrificing the safety of our borders.May 5th, 2015Someone from Sahuarita, AZ signed.

Please don't cut border patrol agents pay, this isn't the right way to save money at the border patrol. What you have to ask is how does this make America safer? It doesn't as these agents are already overworked and understaffed, cutting their pay and overtime just eliminates one of the main incentives they have for doing their jobs.REPORT COMMENTS

If there needs to be budget cuts in the federal government, cut some of the "fluff" --- there is no "fluff" with the Border Patrol Agents. Quit spending so much money on projects that cost more than the benefits they create!REPORT COMMENTS

It is unconscionable that the government would cut the pay of these brave people who serve us and defend our country's borders! Not only is the pay cut outrageous, but the consequences of this action would have snowballing negative repercussions. This action would further endanger our citezens by allowing illegal criminals and other people & children to spread destruction and disease to us. I am in favor of people following our laws to become American citizens but NOT in favor of people who basically, "give us the middle finger" to circumvent our rules. And by the way, that is what our government is doing to these hard-working agents and the American people, as well. At a time when most American families are struggling to make ends meet, cutting the pay of anyone at any job is indefensible. Why don't we cut the pay & benefits of members of Congress & the President instead? They should help shoulder the financial burden of what it takes to run our country! Other countries don't allow illegal people to break their laws--they send them back to where they came. Let's speak the truth. These are not "undocumented workers", they are ILLEGAL people. Once a country loses the rule of law, it is only a matter of time before the civilization falls. What a sad state of affairs for our country. May God have mercy on us because our government surely doesn't.REPORT COMMENTS
