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.
Again, I can't help you - but only because our checkpoints were all temporary. We did not have any large scale traffic checkpoints (like in Las Cruces) in our area. If they look like radar equipment they could be ground radar systems based around the checkpoints which scan for areas out to each side - detecting people or traffic which is trying to cut around the checkpoint.
Some checkpoints have tractor trailer scanning equipment, which essentially X-Rays the contents of large trailer boxes. I'm not sure. No real experience at a "proper" checkpoint. Talk about a job I'd never want though...I'm really glad we only had a small temporary checkpoint, sometimes.
There are some guys who spend most of their career standing at a traffic checkpoint. Nooooo thanks.
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.
I have no experience with the Canadian border or immigration officers. Can't help you there.
You can be prosecuted for human smuggling...and thus potentially spend a long time in jail.

How do sushi chefs tell when a fish has gone bad? Is it just the smell?Firefighter
What kind of shape do firefighters need to be in?I'm not sure. This is something you'll have to contact Customs directly, or an agent who has worked POE's. We did not have one in our station's area of responsibility so I never worked in one.
You are not required to have a college degree to join the BP. However, if you do, and achieve a 3.0 or better GPA you will qualify to join at a higher pay grade. If I were you, I'd finish the college degree. That's much more important for your future than just about anything else. It is, however, not required in order for you to join.
I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to. However, a person illegally in the U.S. will forfeit any legal application process, as they have violated the law. You may not enter the U.S. legally until you have all papers (visa, permanent resident etc.) finalized.
This is the easiest way to completely ruin your chances of entering the country legally. Likewise, this will possibly come up in your application process during the background investigation.
I can not give you a direct answer, but it doesn't sound like a good situation.
