    Should take the government help of the lazy people that rather not work. Cut the president's income, people up there than the ones that risks their life's. Damn government takes better care of the illegals.

    Can you imagine what could come in here if we are not protected? Worse than we already have. These people like police, fire , ems and military should be treated Equally. They have a very hard job.

    Not acceptable to the men and women who protect us all year long. This needs to be fixed asap to lessen the worry this will cause their families.

    When I originally got hired, I drove 20 hours to be placed in a rural area full of poverty that is not easy for a family to live and thrive in. I have given my life to the border patrol along with my family and this is the way myself and all the other agents out there get treated. We are not asking or complaining about pay raises or more money. We are just wanting the correct pay that we were promised upon being hired and sent to the armpits of America to keep AMERICA safe.

    This is SHAMEFUL! These men and women protect our borders and deserve every cent. Do NOT take their pay away and it is absolutely wrong to take money back that was already given to them. I don't suppose you will give them their taxes back for that either, will you. Robbery is all it is and it is SHAMEFUL!!

    I am a 19 year member of the US Border Patrol. I simply want to be paid what I was promised when I was recruited over 20 years ago. I had no say in the pay reform that was recently passed that will dramatically affect my pay for the next decade until I retire. The pay reform faces in the face of all current pay standards and ignores the protections of the Fair Labor Standards Act which was passed by Congress some 40 years ago to protect the employees. I do not need to be rich but just compensated for the work I do.

    There is an Isis training base right over the border in Mexico. Several states now have active Isis cells. Drug usage is now at an all time high. With all this why would our government even think of cutting Border Patrol Agents pay. The Border Patrol is trying to stop all this.
