MORALE NEVER BEEN LOWER

[PGreen]

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents have had their authority to detain illegal aliens reduced, some have been disarmed, and now they are seeing cuts in their paychecks. All of this is taking a toll on morale.

Serious new problem at U.S. Border Patrol

About what kind of national security ( as well as border security) can we talk about in such circumstances? And by the way, the U.S. spends nearly $20 billion annually on border security measures. What is this money being spent on?

It's being spent to make wetbacks comfortable.

Republicans demand that government spending must be cut and then whine when it ends up hurting the programs that they support.

ONE anonymous agent whining about his union and having to cut his overtime.

Wow. That's really serious, all righty.

You know, birther and 10ther Central!!

Now, I wonder how any sane person can quantify "moral"? Hmmm, unless that person may just be a batshit crazy Rightie who just has to spew some nonesense.

From the link:

A border agent in southeastern California said the issues with agent pay has to do with overtime polices. “We’re getting scrutinized like crazy for anything over eight hours,” he said.

The agent, whom WND agreed not to identify due to the possibility of retribution against him, said the frustration level was causing many agents in his unit, which includes about 200 officers, to look for work elsewhere.

Congress passed a reform law that will change the way Border Patrol agents are paid starting next year, leading to a pay cut for most agents under the new system.

“Most of us are pretty happy with the current system but the supervisors are not supposed to micromanage our overtime,” the agent told WND. “We’re getting contradictory messages from our supervisors.”

Ok, let's check out the turnover rate for the border patrol for 2014 when it comes out.

One individual agent, who wants to be anonymous..... like the stories about Michelle Obama's furious rants in the WH, told from an individual who "wants" to be anonymous, to rumors of the Pres. having anal sex with one of his WH SS guards, according to an individual who "wants" to be anonymous.

Yeah, right....

And WND "claims" to be "Christian". I wonder if they ever read what Jesus had to say about lying...

The Right has divorced itself so far from reality that reality sent a notarized letter to the Right, telling the Right that there is no hope in hell of the two ever getting together again...

The point is that Obama is doing his best to not to solve immigration problem, but rather to provoke more and more thousands of illegal immigrants come to the US. The new law will increase cases of bribery and extortion. The number of illegal immigrants will grow rapidly and will provoke new social and ethnic conflicts as a result.
