    We don't cut the soldier's pay. These are men and women who are also in the line of fire. They should not have a cut in pay, and especially not one this drastic.

    El Paso Texas has been known to be the safest city in Texas! Without the Border patrol protecting her it could become a nightmare since our sister city was one of the bloodiest thanks to the drug wars that has scarred her!

    Everyone needs to tighten their belt in times like these but the cuts for the border patrol are disproportional.

    The irony in this is that the justification is for the efficiency of government and caused by conflict within a government that was designed to be inefficient through the separation of powers targeting employees of the government and impacting the citizens that elected the government.

    These brave men and women fight a never ending battle against keeping our homeland safe. I have seen firsthand the border they patrol in the El Paso Texas area and I do not wish this tough job on anyone, yet they bravely go out and do it every day and now they face a huge pay cut for what? POLITICS!!!! No way this should happen

    Do not use politics as an excuse to put our national security at risk. There are plenty ways to save money without cutting our "First Line Defense". Don't assume that the American public is stupid or will automatically accept these self defeatist decisions. We are watching and we don't forget.
