UPDATED LETTER (April 4th, 2013)
While
it appears as though Congress appropriated sufficient funds to pay the
salaries of Border Patrol agents within the current Continuing
Resolution (CR), CBP has yet to make a decision on the spending plan.
Consequently, the proposed plans and indecision have unnecessarily
caused Border Patrol agents and their families to worry about their
safety at work and the uncertainty of their financial stability. Please take
action to prevent CBP from reducing the numbers and pay of Border
Patrol agents who risk their lives daily to patrol our borders and keep
our nation safe.

The hubris of David Aguilar knows no bounds |
|

Saturday, 31 December 2011 |

At a time of drastic budget cuts and curtailed enforcement by the Bureau he heads, David Aguilar sees fit to waste taxpayer dollars for his own change of command ceremony. Surely he deserves it, as he has gutted the morale of his troops; proposed and implemented policies that slashed their pay; lowered the hiring standards and shortened the academy in order to reach an unrealistic hiring goal and receive an excessive bonus while at the same time destroying the integrity of the Border Patrol; shilled for amnesty for illegal aliens; and received the only "no confidence" votes by the rank-and-file agents in the history of the US Border Patrol.
Aguilar must be also overlooking the fact that he is merely the acting
Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection. It is reflective of the
agency as there are far too many people in acting positions, marking
time, afraid to make decisions, and generally passing the buck.
Aguilar will be a perfect fit for today's American government. He will
check the day's prevailing political winds and adjust his positions
accordingly. Congress will have no better friend if they are intent on
pursuing the dual goals of demonizing federal workers and rewarding
illegal aliens with amnesty.
Enjoy your change of command ceremony David Aguilar, as you allow the
years of good work by Border Patrol agents to be for naught. You
certainly deserve everything coming to you.
