    It's time for Congress and the White House to ACT on getting our country back on good footing again. That includes paying the full salaries of government employees!

    How does our government send millions of dollars to foreign coutries??? We need our Border Patrol Agents, we do NOT need to support other coutries, we need to protect our borders!! Our Borders need more agents and they need pay raises!!

    what is the justification of cutting the pay when the budget for homeland security is more this year than the last? Even with the sequester cuts! I call BS

    This would hinder my kids education because I would have to relocate them to another state. I also commute 2 hours from home to work so it would separate me from my family because I would have to reside in the state I work. I wouldn't be able to commute on a daly biasses because of the 40% cuts. The gas is priced to high for me to commute. Lastly it could Lao force me to go into foreclosure. I hope you all reconsider and see how many family's you will be affecting. This will also weaken our nations borders. With in the last few months about 20 agent have applied to state jobs. As it is we only have 350 agents. We are currently manning two camps and even before we did that we were undermanned.

    AUO is touted as an adjunct to the base pay. It has always been a recruiting tool. So now it's not? A very poor way to reward those who put their lives on the line each day.
