If you're in the military and you cross the border, will border patrol contact your command?

Asked by anon over 8 years ago

Crossing the border legally? No. Illegally? Absolutely.

If an illegal jumps the fence & gets hurt, I was told border patrol (BP) can't read them their rights. They'll call ambulance to take them to hospital. BP doesn't follow ambulance to hospital. Illegal is then treated & is let out the door. true?

Asked by Tina about 8 years ago

False. The BP will apprehend an individual illegally in the country, regardless of medical conditions or injuries. An agent will be assigned to watch the apprehended individual throughout their medical stay at the hospital. An illegal immigrant may be processed at the hospital and can then be turned over to a medical facility in Mexico as a standard VR (voluntary return).

I hate when people who work for border patrol have latino names. And have latino back ground. Or if they look hispanic i hope u dont look hispanic OSCAR

Asked by lilianajobs14@gmail.com over 10 years ago

You do understand that nearly 65% of the 18,000 Border Patrol Agents are of hispanic background? Legal U.S. citizens. This is why they're in the BP, to prevent illegals from abusing the system they spent years and money properly going through to become citizens themselves.

What happens to a car when it is held back by powder patrol because illegal immigrants were in it? Can the owner of the car get it back if they didn't grant permission for the car to be used for this?
