Just because shift is over doesn't mean you get to pack up and leave. Working overtime is a must in this line of work! If agents and supervisors are working a group, they don't just hand it over to the next shift. They work it, bring it in and begin the processing which takes hours depending on the size of the group. If drugs are involved or there's claim by an illegal against an agent, that's even more time added. This is extra time away from their families who already deal with the grueling shift work, holiday and night work. Denying them pay for doing their job is absolutely ridiculous, shameful, and unethical. This agency is built on the motto "HONOR FIRST" where is the HONOR is this?May 4th, 2015Someone from Havre, MT writes:
A decrease is pay could cause dedicated agents to look for other work. Then who will patrol our borders???? Congress needs to cut money elsewhere. Like what does congress do??? Sit and talk about laws... Safe. Not defending our countryREPORT COMMENTS

These agents work hard and risk their lives everyday. That's more than can be said of the idiots in Congress. They're the ones that deserve a pay cut and a big one.REPORT COMMENTS

These brave men and women put their lives on the line to protect us and help people. I personally know many Border Patrol Agents, and they are intelligent, dedicated, hard working, and self sacrificing. They also have families to support. They deserve better support from our government than this.REPORT COMMENTS
