Male, 31
Spent a bit over four years (2006-2010) serving as a Border Patrol Agent in Tucson Sector, AZ: the busiest sector in the country. Worked numerous positions, and spent the last year and a half operating/instructing ground radar installations. Duties included: field patrols, transport, processing, control room duties, transportation check, checkpoint operations, static watch duties, etc.
Not sure. When I entered service they were still doing a full background investigation, so there was no polygraph test administered. Can't help you there.

We do use dogs frequently, at least one or two per shift. They're very useful, but dogs are high maintenance because they can get injured paws etc. very easily out in the desert. I agree we should have had more of them. They're very effective. K9 handlers also have to have special vehicles, and get special compensation (extra pay) to cover the time they spend looking after the dog. They also do quite a bit of training, and we often used them at check points.
I think it's a matter of time/training/money that prevents us from having more.

If you are accused of a crime and arrested, yes you can be deported. Fighting someone is not a crime. A little silly and immature, but not a crime. Now if you assault him, and charges are filed, yes you will be in violation of your immigration status and subject to the consequences.

I couldn't give you an answer on that. I only knew one Native American agent at my station of 450-500 agents. But I can not speak for other stations/sectors. I would imagine the percentage is incredibly small.

It's pretty easy to pick them out. Many of the coyotes though are career coyotes. They've been doing this stuff for years, if not decades. We could very easily spot or figure out the coyotes if we caught them. However, they're normally pretty smart and would bail or abandon the group when they could tell agents were nearby. Illegals rarely 'turned in" coyotes, because they knew there could be repercussions for them later, back in Mexico etc.

Honestly I can't remember. The logical reasoning portion is the easiest part of the exam though. I wouldn't stress over it. Sorry I can't recall the times - it might be explained in the paperwork prior to your test though.

Yes. A foreign citizen who has remained in the U.S. on an expired visa is out of status and breaking the law. He is committing a crime by falsely remaining in the country outside of the conditions of his visa.
