    why not cut benefits to the millions of people Who abuse the welfare system! Why cut the pay of those who work hard and put their lives at risk for our safety!! This is ridiculous!! These men and women work hard day in and day out, they miss and sacrifice times with their families while many abuse the welfare system simply because they are lazy.

    WE Are a 10 year veteran border patrol family. These cuts will directly affect our entire household. My husband works his tail off daily. He bleeds fo r this agency. He loves his job. For the past two years Homeland Security has been looming pay cuts over our heads. this has caused my husband who is the sole financial provider for our family much undue stress and anxiety. the cuts are too extreme for families to face and continue to own up to their very own financial obligations. we urge Congress to please take action and do what is right and what is fair to all of our agEnts.

    It would be ok if the pay cuts were equally done but it only targets Border Patrol. How fair is that if these men are the ones that risk their life daily to protect our borders! It's not fair whatsoever.
