My neighbors son is a Border Patrol fellow he is highly educated and chose to serve, now what is he suppose to do?????? He went to college and to the border patrol training place and is a fine employee, TSA's don't make that much money & are guarding our airlines and airports..oh, my goodness sakes alive!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-23562647971260108112015-02-27T21:20:24.445-05:002015-02-27T21:20:24.445-05:00We spoke with a Border Patrol agent and was told c...We spoke with a Border Patrol agent and was told congress wants to cut their wages.
