Morale is "horrible" as law enforcement agents go without pay during shutdown

1/10/19
Washington — Nearly 13,000 FBI agents will not get a paycheck Friday. The FBI Agents Association told the White House and Congress that without it, agents face "financial insecurity" and could lead some to find other work. Ongoing FBI investigations have also been hampered by the partial government shutdown. "As this moves forward, it's only going to get worse," said Thomas O'Connor, president of the FBI Agents Association. "People are nervous, they're upset and they're worried about when is the next paycheck going to come in." There are similar concerns within other federal law enforcement agencies like the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Sources tell CBS News morale is "horrible." Commanders are having to weigh financial constraints before approving certain sensitive undercover operations. "You know the old adage, 'crime doesn't pay' ... and neither does the federal government. That's not right," O'Connor said. Veteran agents have been through other shutdowns before, but sources said this time is different because the shutdown has dragged out longer. The FBI Agents Association speaks for its members and not the bureau — which isn't commenting Thursday.

There is a natural bias here by the FBI agents union/association, but the shutdown effects will certainly slow-down/terminate certain investigative facets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, and CBP.

The Democrats are making our country weaker. They refuse to fund border control. Our country is vulnerable right now.

Blood will be on the hands of Pelosi and Schumer if people start dying.

Nah, all to prevent a multi billion dollar monument to Trump's ego, that can be defeated by a $30 ladder or a $10 shovel.

The Republican and democrat money wants cheap non American labor. Chicago is a sanctuary city with high black unemployment. because Democrats prefer low skill Latino’s doing the work.

They are a bunch of racist pricks. Thats why the wall is not an emergency.

I thought Black employment at all time high?...trump said so...Please explain

Being employed and making a decent paycheck are not the same thing. Working 30 hours per week at MW is being employed full-time.

Bull Hockey!

tRump tried to gin up a 'crisis' for the mid-term and it turned on him. Now he is doubling down on a losing hand... :roll:

Get it right- they refuse to fund A WALL, they are on board for better screening at crossing for drugs, more Border Agents, upgrades in technology.... but not A WALL...

Our country is vulnerable because tRump wants a wall and like a bratt (and because his only base left demand a wall- most of the country isn't onboard) he refuses to play until he gets his way- with no real concessions on his part....

The stupid is on his hands... eace

Under obama, 40 billion for border security passed senate. McConnel that POS refused to even take it up for vote. republicans had complete control of all branches for 2 years, they did nothing. Democrats are for border security and are OK with funding border security. not a dumb, pointless wall. A wall is not border security, its a waste of money.

This is what they do, and its astounding how their base is so stupid they don't realize it, they have been doing it for decades. When they know something won't get passed the dems, like under Obama, they will pass all these waste of time bills like all the anti-abortion bills they knew obama would veto. As soon as they had all branches, they didn't pass a single anti-abortion bill. Same with immigration, under obama, they refused to pass legislation providing substantial border security funding, now they have power, they did nothing, and blame dems. That's their MO, they only know how to blame people. I can't believe people are so forking stupid that they continue to allow them to get away with this. It's so obvious.

That and their disgusting hypocrisy they don't even hide. Rave on and on about deficits, then give the rich tax breaks and increase the deficits by trillions. Dems come in and have to fix it, they blame dems.

F republicans and F their idiot, scumbag constituency

You do know Trump properties are staffed with illegal immigrants right?

Not only undocumented workers - didn't I read that they helped their workers get fake papers?

Serious question. Have you ever seen a prison where the prisoners can just walk out of the prison anytime they want?

Or what about a zoo? Have you ever seen a zoo where the animals can walk, crawl, fly away?

Blame who you want.

But there is no denying that the ROI for Putin helping to get Trump elected is through through the roof.

 

[JustHanging]

Serious question. Have you ever seen a prison where the prisoners can just walk out of the prison anytime they want?

Or what about a zoo? Have you ever seen a zoo where the animals can walk, crawl, fly away?

Yeah, because a zoo is just like a border in the middle of the desert between the USA and Mexico. :lamo


That's one hell of a powerful bubble you live in there Bucky.

 

[JustHanging]

This is what they do, and its astounding how their base is so stupid ....

Not really, that's one of the best ways to get summat ol' Trump love...

Donald Trump declares 'I love the poorly educated'

 

[Sampson Simpson]

Serious question. Have you ever seen a prison where the prisoners can just walk out of the prison anytime they want?

Or what about a zoo? Have you ever seen a zoo where the animals can walk, crawl, fly away?

This typical dumb response. No actual positive arguments to show a wall would in fact work, in the face of all the facts that say it won't, such as how easy it is the scale to breech such a large wall over really long distances that can't possibly all be manned and in desolate areas, the fact most illegals don't come through the southern border, and most drugs come through other avenues and not the southern border.

nope, just make the same dumb comments about how houses and prisons have walls.

So much stupidity get spewed by right wingers, its unreal

So the wall is to keep Americans in, Donald Jr.?
