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).

When applying, DHS/CBP will ask what state you prefer to work in. This is no guarantee. When they make you a job offer they will provide you with a choice of 1-3 different stations, and you may choose which one you prefer. If you prefer to wait this is also possible, but then you lose your slot in line, with no guarantee a slot will open up where you want to work. You're better off joining wherever you can and then working 3-4 years and applying to move later.

How do you feel about employees working remotely?
No. The SS card/green card etc. would be recorded as null and void. A simple scan would indicate that the Bosnian citizen is no longer legally entitled to be in the U.S.

You mean that she's been in Mexico for 13 years, or that she's been in the U.S. for 13 years and recently went back to Mexico and was caught coming in? If she's legally applying for status or citizenship then she's just made a huge mistake. Illegal entries during the application process will negate the application completely and she will be refused entry. If she has been deported, she will have a 5 year ban on legal application, and a subsequent deportation will result in a further ban (I believe it's 10 or 20 years). There is no point in breaking the law while trying to legally do something.

The overall effect is pretty significant. Mainly from deterrence and detection, as well as monitoring who is entering the country. If you're asking about interior checkpoints they're also pretty good. We used to catch loads of stuff trying to go around the checkpoint. This makes it really easy to catch. So, yes, they're pretty effective at both detection, deterrence and apprehensions. I can't speak for some of the really interior ones on distant highways though. No idea what they catch there.
