You can't study for a reasoning test. It's akin to a common sense test. You either have it, or you don't.

Sorry, it's been over 7 years. I have no idea how long we were given (heck I don't even know if the test is still the same!)
Share Answer: 
Not very good. Having an illegal immigrant in the family is a violation because you would be a federal agent with knowledge of someone violating a federal law. This is a question which is covered during your background investigation. This would obviously also call into question your motivation behind applying for the job.
Share Answer: 
Will there always be a need? Sure. Will that need justify the expense? Unknown. They are good to have, but expensive and time consuming so it's up to the sector if they feel they can justify them.

SB1070 passed shortly after I left the BP. The USBP is 100% busy all of the time in Tucson Sector, so if anything it would have put more strain on us, due to a possible increase in local law enforcement apprehending illegals. The actual passage did not affect the way we do business, as our authority is almost entirely immigration based.
I'd imagine there was a spike in OA (other agency) calls, and I'd like to hope that ICE in Phoenix got hammered by Sheriff Joe with more apprehensions.
