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, as I have never worked a proper Port of Entry (POE). Perhaps you can find a customs guy on Jobstr who will have more experience with passport information.

With ICE? Probably very easy - FBI not so much. They're extremely high speed, and very picky. I only knew one BP guy who went over to the FBI and he was for all intents and purposes a rock star (top of his class, made sup' early, became SRT, then SRT sup' etc.). It is a great entry into federal law enforcement though. You'll do fine, and can likely go a lot of places. Also, remember there are a ton of agencies people have never heard of.

Not unless they have re-introduced the OR or "Own recognizance" statute. This was the ridiculously flawed and useless process used in the late 80's and early 90's whereby an illegal immigrant would sign a document stating he would return at a specific date to be processed and deported (due to lack of holding facilities). Needless to say...NONE of these people ever showed back up to be deported, and the immigration services had no way of tracking them down. So, back in the day? Yes. Currently? Not that I've heard of. Now, perhaps local police departments or Sheriff's offices do something like this - but normally they simply call up the local ICE or CBP office and turn them over.

Nope. Once released from federal service for that kind of issue you won't be rehired.

I'm not sure where you'd find this kind of information compiled. It may be available directly through a CBP office. The term you'd be using is "OTM" (Other than Mexican). Each sector in the BP has a headquarters with various agents assigned to public relations etc. That would be the place to start.
Share Answer: 
Contact your consulate and have them contact CBP.

It does not currently, and I doubt it did previously. If it's an offensive tattoo in an obvious location - possibly. No face tattoos or stupid nonsense on your knuckles/neck/etc.
