    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Other programs can be cut which won't impact our nation like our borders.

    It is so sad that American's are suffering, young and old. God isn't going to take much more of what America is becoming.

    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.

    This is one thing that should not be cut. I am sure there are plenty other places to cut spending.

    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.

    My nephew works very hard as a Border Patrol agent and he loves his job. Why doesn't the president and congress take some of the pay cuts instead of the ordinary working man?

    I cannot emphasize enough how devastating this cut will be to both national security and the financial stability of border patrol agents

    If the government pay was being cut 40% there would suddenly be a resolution. Fix this now!

    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.
