Oscar
Charleston, SC
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.
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).

Share Answer: 
This varies completely from vehicle to vehicle, station to station, and sector to sector. While an agent may not have direct access to X, Y or Z...he is always in radio contact with the station and sector, so information is readily available.
Share Answer: 
This depends entirely on the nature of his apprehension and whether he was returned voluntarily, deported, if he served any jail time, has a prior criminal record etc. If you're going through paperwork make sure to contact a qualified immigration lawyer to assist you.
