These cuts are not only unnecessary, but they will prove to have a very negative and dangerous effect on our nation's security. I took an oath over 20 years ago when I joined the U.S. Navy, and again almost 15 years ago when I joined the U.S. Border Patrol. I did my first tour in San Diego. Since coming to Tucson Sector in 2005, I have witnessed a station lose morale, purpose, and all sense of what we were trained to do. These cuts are a definate sign that our management and administration really could care less about the mission or the Agents that are charged with carrying it out. Thank.you for your time and attention.Mar 27th, 2013Someone from El Paso, TX writes:
DHS was given enough money to fully fund the Border Patrol at least till the end if the fiscal year, what is DHS doing with the money and why won't they give details as to where the money is going. They freeze cost of living increase, then furloughs, and now AUO what's next.REPORT COMMENTS

My family has a long history of service with the Border Patrol. They put their lives on the line to protect our borders. It is a huge injustice to want to cut their pay.REPORT COMMENTS

To try to reform the illegal immigrant situation yet cut our first line if defense at the boarders is asking for unwanted situations. It's time you started using the education that you earned and cut budgets somewhere else, like salaries if our government officials .REPORT COMMENTS

As a former Border Patrol Agent and current DHS employee, I am strongly against these substantial cuts to both man-hours and pay! Law Enforcement officers are already under-paid and over-worked! These men and women have already had no cost-of-living raises for 4 years and will not be able to survive with such drastic cuts to their wages. Nobody will want to live in border towns if they make such little $. Please show some respect to those whom keep the country safe, secure and free! No more government rhetoric about how secure and safe the border is!!!! I've been there, done that, and it is akin to a WAR-ZONE!!!!REPORT COMMENTS

Please for the safety of our country don't cut the hours and pay of our Border Patrol.There is so much waste that can be cut out of the budget that would more than cover the cost for Border patrol.REPORT COMMENTS

Maybe DHS should stop ****ing away all the Border Patrol agents' pay on airport full body scanners, allowing the company that lobbies for them to get richer.REPORT COMMENTS

If the funding is there, then CBP has NO right to punish Border Patrol in this manner for the service provided in proctecting our borders.REPORT COMMENTS

This won't help reduce any deficit spending. Please look at the wasteful spending associated with projects like SBInet. These were failures because no attention was given to what would actually help the agents on the ground. At the cost of billions of dollars to the American tax payer that made no headway. Really? Check the spending that you all make happen to help line the pockets of your benefactors.REPORT COMMENTS
