As part of laws enacted to ensure a balanced budget, sequestration has been enacted by your office. By doing so, sequestration will cause many more problems than solutions. The immediate effect of such a furlough will remove border patrol officers from vital areas that catch drug smugglers and human traffickers that prey on our society. The effect will limit the patient care our military members and families will receive. Most of those that need this care will have made such a great sacrafic already, that to ask them to wait longer for care is unthinkable. The elderly and needy will not be provided the meals that have kept them going this long. We will be taking food from their mouths. The need to end this is now, Mr. President. Before the effects of this will create ruin in our society.
