    Congress needs to have the higher ups from DHS explain their gross incompetence and mismanagement. If money was allotted for Border Patrol salaries; where did it go, and why?

    We will not gain anything in this country by giving up our ability to protect our border. We will see an increase in the use of "free" government services and the American Citizen will foot the bill. When will Mexico and Canada welcome all foreigners into their countries and pay for all of the extra costs that are incurred?

    I wish the Congress and the President would start working together. Can any of you in D.C. recall 9/11/2001? This is PRIME opportunity to avoid it happening again. Terrorists are waiting for exactly this sort of bi-partisan bickering to occur. Be sure that they will take full advantage while our Border Guards are furloughed. They have a stressful enough job without worrying if they will get paid for risking their lives to protect ours. Please put the safety of our Nation FIRST! To the men and women who serve in the Border Patrol Agenccy, God Bless and keep you safe. Thank You for doing what you do day in and day out.

    People who support the gang of eight and their amnesty proposal should take a look at what lies ahead. NO border security.

    It's unbelievable that our government would put our country in such danger, let alone cause many agents families to lose their homes. Why don't the Congress, Senate & President take a large cut from their high salaries, and let those who make much less live on what they are earning. There is a real problem in government today. Why not look on your on back porch for cuts, before taking these unnecessary cuts!

    There should be other resources that won't affect the agents I live in a bordertown in south Texas and also a law enforcement officer where BP is our back up. Cutting there salary will bring a higher increase for corruption and family issues, god bless our law enforcement officers.
