Hi Oscar just wondering I know is not right! But can a border patrol agent date an illegal girl/guy? What if he/she doesn't know the status Of that person? What should he/she do when find out the person dating is illegal?

Asked by Leticia89 over 10 years ago

Sure, this does happen on occasion. Sometimes knowingly and sometimes unknowingly. There was an agent at my station (my class actually) who was dating a Mexican citizen who was here on a visa. Unbeknownst to the agent the visa had expired. The Mexican actually became abusive and during an investigation by local police - this was revealed. The agent resigned immediately.

Asked by Elisa over 8 years ago

If you cannot gain the information from USAJobs.gov (government jobs website) he can try to contact a BP station and inquire there. Most stations have community relations agents which can assist in applying for the job.
