    Isis is getting stronger and our boarder security is getting compromised.

    This is a must, cutting the pay will not help the issue.

    I find it disgusting that you are threatening to cut the wages of the men and women who are protecting OUR borders. They risk their lives on a daily basis trying to keep our borders safe from terrorist and the drug cartel. Yet, you do not take any pay cuts yourselves and give hundreds of billions of dollars to ILLEGALS? You people are disgusting and a disgrace to our country.

    Border security depends on Border Patrol, stong fencing does not stop cartels from cutting the fence. Border Patrol are on high alert daily, as they work alone in the middle of the nowhere to secure our country, do not take their lives and hard work for granted.

    Our Border Patrol agents risk their life everyday in the line of duty. They or their family should not have to sacrifice what they earn. They protect our borders. Cuts should be made to those on welfare who abuse the system.

    What a shame. These officers risk their lives protecting the boarders everyday! They deserve to make their regular pay and not be subjected to cuts...period. Find somewhere else to cut dollars...like Congress!

    It is shameful that these brave men and women who risk their lives to protect our country are constantly subjected to uncertainty of their livelihood for their families. All the while politicians are stuffing their pockets. Our Border Patrol Agents, do not get the respect and recognition that they deserve, and then to constantly worry about reduced compensation everytime contracts and budgets are revisited is just wrong! Please support our U.S. Border Patrol Agents.
