    My question is why are we the only Agency that is being messed with. I don't see DEA, ICE, etc.

    Please show your appreciation for the agents and their families by showing they are valued and keeping their pay.

    This is ridiculous, these men and women put their lives on the line daily For us to protect this country's security of its borders. We are safe because they are on the forefront to keep terrorists and others from entering illegally that want to commit crimes. They shouldn't have to worry about their salaries being lowered, no price on possibly not going home from work.

    These honorable agents are on the forward edge of the safety of our nation. Let's give them what they earn. Let's give them the tools they need to defend us!

    I cannot believe this is happening to our agents who patrol our borders. They all have families and homes to take care off. Our security as a nation will be in jeopardy.

    Our agents have lost enough. Much like soliders the men and women of the USBP risk their lives in defense of this country and yet remain a constant target for budgetary cuts...

    So sad how our government doesn't care about our families, our lives. We are risking everything every day we are out at those borders. Who ever says the borders are secure, you are welcome to come work traffic in the pitch dark, when most of your equipment doesn't work. Morale is at its lowest...at every station.
