Congressman Pete Gallego, House Representative for the 23rd District of Texas, the area covered by NBPC Local 2366, has recently come out and supported averting Sequestration.

Local 2366 just finished a conference call with NBPC leadership and executive board members from the Border Patrol Locals representing the Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, and Big Bend Sectors, as of 11:00 pm central time. NBPC has been in dialog with Border Patrol Chief Fisher, OBP staff, and members of Congress and have shared the following news.
-Sequestration seems inevitable at this point as Congress is on recess and, as of yet, no plans have been made to return from the recess to address the pending sequestration.
-Despite the Congressional recess, NBPC leadership has met with the DHS Appropriations Committee Chairman and discussed their concerns over the proposed sequestration cuts.

The Union has discovered that a meeting between Del Rio Sector management and all Patrol Agents in Charge in Del Rio Sector will take place today at 2:30 pm. While we have not been able to confirm the nature of the conversation, we feel that in light of the recent news that it would be safe to assume that sequestration and its effect on the agency and its employees will be discussed. We will keep you updated as news develops.

The possibility of sequestration and the trauma of the drastic cuts that would be realized if it came to pass have been haunting America since Congress agreed to the idea in the summer of 2011. Despite Congress having close to two years to avert the draconian cuts, which countless financial experts state would cripple economic recovery, it has failed to do so.
