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.
Not sure, most parts of the border are not marked (as you noted). However, international law is international law and depends solely on the violated state's policies. If Mexico has strict border policies (which are obviously not enforced at all given the current state of thins) a border patrol agent would be at their mercy. I do imagine if it was an honest mistake, it might be resolved between governments. Once a person enters another country illegally they are solely at the mercy of the country they entered (regardless of LEO affiliation etc.).
Share Answer: 
No. His record and prints will still be in the U.S. immigration system database.
Share Answer: 
He could be. Depends on his criminal record and other issues he may have had.
Share Answer: 
Yes, look up 1811 or CBP agent on USAJobs.gov (the US federal job site). There may be no listing currently (there is only a listing when the BP needs new agents).

Yes. You will not be able to join the Patrol as you have illegal family members.
Share Answer: 
There is no process. You can contact the local Sheriff/Police Department and attempt to file a missing person's report. However if you can not verify that the family member did cross the border they may not accept the report. Crossing international borders is dangerous and illegal. A person is responsible for their own actions and safety.
Share Answer: 
Most other countries have severly strict laws regarding border breaches. In fact, many countries retain the right to shoot you. America has some of the softest immigration/border policies in the world (which is why we have this problem).
