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.
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).
I have no experience with the Canadian border or immigration officers. Can't help you there.
Not if you've been deported. If you have a voluntary return, perhaps. I haven't seen it done, but I never worked with the immigration lawyers.
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.

Well, the BORTAC guys work even more, and are subject to callouts, as they are essentially on-call. Any relationship is doable, but a relationship which is weak to start out with, will not survive a LEO career of any sort. Also, if your loved one is in that line of work you should choose your fights carefully. Sometimes a LEO will encounter a bunch of serious messed up stuff (dead children, bodies, abuse, etc.) on duty and then come home only for his/her spouse to get angry over something stupid --- this will ignite a fight, etc. So, yes it's pretty darn tough. But, not impossible by any stretch of the imagination.
Not very good. Having an illegal immigrant in the family is a violation because you would be a federal agent with knowledge of someone violating a federal law. This is a question which is covered during your background investigation. This would obviously also call into question your motivation behind applying for the job.
You can't study for a reasoning test. It's akin to a common sense test. You either have it, or you don't.
