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.
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.

This depends entirely on the situation. You accomplish both: tend to the injured and apprehend those it's possible to apprehend.

I do not believe there is a limit. Please call the hiring office in Minnesota (should be listed on your paperwork) to confirm if there is a limit.

Wait for him to contact someone. Oh, and get new friends.

Yes, the BP have a couple of different special teams which operate in various sectors. These are run by sector level and often with fellow law enforcement agencies (both local and federal). Not very often, but yes.

Not sure, most parts of the border are not marked (as you noted). However, international law is international law and depends solely on the violated state's policies. If Mexico has strict border policies (which are obviously not enforced at all given the current state of thins) a border patrol agent would be at their mercy. I do imagine if it was an honest mistake, it might be resolved between governments. Once a person enters another country illegally they are solely at the mercy of the country they entered (regardless of LEO affiliation etc.).

No. His record and prints will still be in the U.S. immigration system database.
