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.
Nope.

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.

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).

Nope. This has been discussed several times before.

Yes, you can in the field. Obviously not in a station or holding area. Most agents tend to use dip in the field though, as cigarette smoke immediately gives away your location. As long as you're not in a government building, you can smoke. I don't believe they'd want you smoking at a POE or other check point location while working with people though. In the desert, patrolling? Sure.
