Sorry LCCajun, when I said "you", I didn't mean you personally, I meant "you" as in any Border Patrol Officer. I was ignorant of all the Border Patrol does and just assumed that if you are in the Border Patrol, you would, naturally, be on the border. I went to the official Border Patrol website and learned that that is not always the case.
"The Border Patrol’s mission has increased over the years. Today, the Border Patrol must also operate within the interior of United States — monitoring roads and even some airports where illegal aliens concentrate. In addition, other government agencies have granted the United States Border Patrol certain additional powers to help them protect our borders."
