Obama threatens stopping paychecks to 143,000 Homeland Security employees
Daily Mail ^ | Feb. 2, 2015 | David Martosko

President Barack Obama claimed on Monday that without a comprehensive budget covering the Department of Homeland Security, more than 130,000 mission-critical employees will be forced to work without pay by the end of the month.

They include 40,000 employed by Customs and Border Protection, 50,000 Transportation Security Administration screeners, 13,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and 40,000 Coast Guard personnel.

Pay would be restored at the end of any withholding period.

'I know how vital you are, and I want to make sure more Americans know how vital you are,' Obama told an auditorium full of DHS employees Monday the department's headquarters, as the White House rolled out his $4 trillion budget request for 2016.

In addition, it's likely that 4,000 people who work for the Secret Service will see paychecks on hold if Obama doesn't strike a deal with Republicans in Congress.

TSA “employees” are already now being offered early retirement.

Lifetime pensions for thousands of these imbeciles with a $25,000 bonus incentive.

They won't work without pay. They will give Obama the middle finger and stay home. Absent Thugs Standing Around, the airports may shutdown or choose to do private security. We did just fine for most of my life without high priced rent-a-cops pawing our possessions.

Democrats want illegal aliens to take your job more than they want Coast Guard families to be paid, Border Patrol Families to be paid, national security to be taken care of, and more than they want you to provide for your family.

Nice graphic, Dear Man.

“To Hell with the American People!”

That should be painted on the White Hut and the Capitol Building in 6’ tall neon-orange letters and get sent viral on the Internet.

This petulant child will never be able to scrub his “legacy” clean.

NEVER!

Would not break my heart if they shut the whole thing down.
