If you can't afford to pay us, don't hire more agents. And then cut the spending on amnesty and foreign aid. -

Additionally, last week at the end of the pay period, agents were informed they lost FLSA pay....for the pay period they had already worked. Talk about a kick in the nuts.REPORT COMMENTS

The agents and families that sacrifice their lives and time to protect our country is not being taken into consideration. This is a ****ing contest and its putting our families into an emotional roller coaster with trying to find child care, budgeting, and spouses jobs accommodations. Get it together!!!REPORT COMMENTS

These men and women risk their lives everyday to protect and ensure our safety by keeping out smugglers and terrorists from entering our country and also not to mention the dangers of the wildlife they must encounter everytime they step foot off of their vehicles. It would be absolutely unjust to radically cut 40% of their pay when these agents have sacrificed their well being to enforce our borders safekeeping!!!REPORT COMMENTS

I'm very proud of my family & their decision to defend our country overseas & especially here at the borderline. I already lose out on time to see my family enough because of the demands of this job- I do not want to see them less AND earn less pay!! Stop cutting the pay of those who work & sacrifice- sacrifice the pay of our "leaders" in the government who seem to love raising their salary, while lowering those of all the men & women who defend our beautiful country & her people!!REPORT COMMENTS

Isn't interesting how those men and women who defend and protect us are the ones who find themselves having their pay cut, but NOT our Representatives or Senators or anyone on their staff will ever find their pay in jeopardy? It's time for that to change!!!REPORT COMMENTS

These ppl work hard every day to protect our borders and putting their lives on the line. . Its unfair to them and their families to immediately do these drastic cuts. I believe there are other areas to make budget cuts.REPORT COMMENTS

This is ludicrous, a boxer can make 180 million dollars in a game and our nation continues to chip away at these brave men and women's income!! I can think of very few Americans that can sustain a 40% cut in pay and not have to ask for welfare help. What had it cost to train each agent and now we throw them under the buses. Let's see all public servants have their pay cut and see how many will stick around. THIS IS A NATIONAL DISASTER FOR OUR COUNTRY, THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA MUST STAND AGAINST THIS.REPORT COMMENTS
