Please bring back AUO and FlSA or step increases. My husband loves working fo r BP but the pay cut is not sustainable I had to take on more work to make up for his work. With two kids the hours they work and the undesirable locations make this job not sustainable for a family that will never have options to live by family. The pay cut really hurt our option to stay at a this job and we are looking elsewhere. But if they could bring back the pay before 2014 we could sacrifice living away from from family and the hours he works because we are compensated for the hours heā€™s gone.REPORT COMMENTS

Obama gives $400 Billion to Iran, so now the US has to cut the pay of our Border Patrol? ?? Looks like Donald Trump is the only hope we have left for our country - Obama/Hillary are the ruination of the United States!! Why aren't other Federal Employees docked as well? This is obviously another Democrat Boondoggle!! Disgusting!!REPORT COMMENTS

How do you sleep at night? Do you really represent the people and act in the best interest of our country in protecting our nation? Have you ever been in the line of fire like the men & women of the Border Patrol? Well, you should try putting yourself in their boots and see what it's like. Cutting their pay, Really. You should give them a pay raise, not dock their pay. You should give yourselves a 40% cut and put that wasted money in the the BP budget. You are just stuffed shirts in Congress that don't earn your money. You should invest more on border security than spending millions on your E-MAILS investigations. "THAT IS" a waste of money. Your are the ones who should be putting in more hours and should get paid only for the time that you work. NO PAY FOR RECESS TIME. Try it, maybe you can adjust to your "new salary" just as BP has been made to do.REPORT COMMENTS

This is like stealing money and hours from bp agents . My husband works more than 10 hours occasionally and yet he won't get paid ov . He works very hard and risk his life everyday out there in the field to simply get a cut in his paycheck. Something has to be done. It is very hard for our families and very stressful.REPORT COMMENTS

Border Patrol Agents risk their lives everyday to protect our borders, and rather than cutting spending elsewhere, they cut their paychecks. This is more stress for them and their families.REPORT COMMENTS

CBP does not rank high on the law enforcement professionals' list of agencies to work for. Do not cut pay of CBP employees, raise it and ensure your agency has the 'pick of the litter'.REPORT COMMENTS
