    Seriously, where else but the Federal Government does a person work a 20 plus yr career and then have their pay cut by this amount. Walk a mile in the agent's shoes or work midnight for years on end and try to tell me they deserve to have their pay cut . I challenge anyone to supply a reasonable explanation as to why. There is none...

    Americans soldiers are sent worldwide to protect the world yet Washington is cutting the front lines soldiers (border patrol) and leaving Americans open to be overrun by the world. Why are we not protecting the home front?

    Come on, you expect these dedicated law enforcement officers to work for pennies? Sounds less than working retail. Why doesn't Congress cut their pay, and feed it over to Border Patrol Agents, and to balance our countries rediculous budget deficit. Congress should also not get paid for when they are out of session, which is a lot. Lets see how Congress feels about working for minimum wage, and on Obama Care?

    These men and women are one of the most important lines of defense and we want to cut their pay so drastically. This is wrong! They put their lives on the line standing at the walls of our borders. DON'T DO THIS TO THEM!!!!

    In what world does FLSA work out to 38-40% of our pay? It's one thing to ask for a change, but you come off as disingenuous and uninformed when your information is just plain wrong.
