I did not work at a border POE crossing, so I cannot tell you. If you're referring to crossing the border illegally...yes, a full sample of biographical information is collected (including finger prints etc.), and if you have a record it will show up.

No. You do not pay for anything while entering the BP (though you will have to pay for your flight to your duty station, or travel to Artesia, NM for the academy).

This depended on the task, but everyday uniform wear included: Uniform trousers and shirt, soft body armor, duty belt with radio, handcuffs, collapsible steel baton, flashlight, leatherman, pistol, pistol magazines, keepers and occasionally a spare pouch for a gps, and sometimes a medical pouch. In your pockets you'd bring a knife or two, handheld gps, notepads, pens, batteries for all of your stuff. You'd always bring a pair or two of gloves for searching stuff, boots. When out on foot for any length of time you'd take a camelbak with water, some food, etc. If needed a shotgun or M4 carbine was available. You'd end up toting around perhaps 25 lbs. of junk. Not much, but enough that you'd feel it when you took it off at the end of the day.

I've heard that a lot of startups are hiring really well-educated college grads and paying them a lot, reasoning that customer service is often a client's most lasting impression of a brand. What do you think, and is it something you see spreading?

Does it get aggravating answering people's dumb questions all day long?
No, I do not believe there is a limit on the number of times you can take the exam.

I have no idea how Mexican citizenship works, and what they consider citizens. Since the children were born in the United States they are U.S. citizens. The United States does not recognize dual citizenship, so as far as our country is concerned they are U.S. citizens. I do not know how Mexico qualifies whether or not a person born abroad is a citizen or not.

Good question. There are loads of things we likely "should" do, but many we don't. I assume you're referring to Canadian crossings, including booths and remote cameras. I have no experience up there, so I'm not sure how they operate.
