Oscar
Charleston, SC
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.
If I had to make an educated guess in our AOR when I was working, perhaps 30% or so were actually apprehended. That doesn't count people who are caught later or further in the country (which is exceedingly rare). We'd catch about 75% of the people we detected, spotted or picked up on radar etc. However there are loads of groups/people/drugs that we never detected (but would find signs of later).

This varies completely from vehicle to vehicle, station to station, and sector to sector. While an agent may not have direct access to X, Y or Z...he is always in radio contact with the station and sector, so information is readily available.
Share Answer: 
Not unless it is on your property and your state laws allow you to do so. Certain states will allow you to shoot someone invading your home property if you feel threatened. Most will not. This is why you see a large number of Americans being forced from their homes along the border, because the immigrants/cartels have made it impossible to stay there or live there safely.
