Every form of immigration reform currently on the table calls for increased border security.....not sure how this would do anything but weaken our border security.Mar 28th, 2013Someone from Santa Cruz, CA signed.

I don't believe while we are facing cuts as Border Patrol Agents, that upper management are about to receive a pay raise. This sounds like the bail outs where CEO's from banks got bonuses.REPORT COMMENTS

I'm in total agreement. Cut Congress instead of those who protect and prevent terrorists, weapons and smugglers. What is our leadership thinking.. other than lining their own pockets? Come on we know your doing it.REPORT COMMENTS

I live at the southern border (nogales,az) and believe me when we say, our border is not secure!! We need all the agents we can get. Cut somewhere else not on our BP agents.REPORT COMMENTS

I totally disagree with this 40% cut in pay for these dedicated border patrol agents. What a shame our government gives so much money awayto other countries and doesn't help our own people. Things need to change and it needs to start with helping our country. If not we will be controled by another country. The citizens of our country should come first not last.REPORT COMMENTS

Cutting pay and hours does NOT secure our boarders. Why don't we cut congresses pay by 40% and use that towards securing our borders! Southern Border States need all the help we can get.REPORT COMMENTS

Shame on you!! Cut the Congress pay and things get fixed in a hurry. I getting to a point that I'm no longer proud to be an American. My Grandfather came in the correct way and earned what he got, it wasn't given to him like they do know.REPORT COMMENTS

Let's get real, this furlough/cuts crap to gov employees won't even put a dent w/the debt or spending. 40% is completely ridiculous especially to those who put their lives on the line daily.REPORT COMMENTS
