What % of people crossing are actually caught

Asked by Jeff about 12 years ago

If I had to make an educated guess in our AOR when I was working, perhaps 30% or so were actually apprehended.  That doesn't count people who are caught later or further in the country (which is exceedingly rare).  We'd catch about 75% of the people we detected, spotted or picked up on radar etc.  However there are loads of groups/people/drugs that we never detected (but would find signs of later).

I had a tourist visa and was arrested on drug trafficking charges but released with all charges dropped. On the paperwork it states I have an expedited removal, can I still apply and have a chance at getting my visa back?

If I know of someone who crossed and lied about there reason, what can I do?

Asked by Dalton over 12 years ago

You can report people to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) but you'd have to provide a lot of information regarding proof that they are here illegally.  Also, if a person crosses the border illegally their "reason" doesn't matter.  It is still a crime.

The constitution and the fourth amendment are afforded to all persons with the boundaries of the united states, even illegal immigrants. In your opinion, why is ignorance regarding constitutional rights, so rampant within the BP?

Asked by Dawnfreemansd about 12 years ago

No idea.  You'd have to speak to a customs guy.  I'm sure there are certain regulations in place regarding the importation of corpses.
