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.
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.

You can be prosecuted for smuggling illegal aliens.
Share Answer: 
No.
Share Answer: 
Not unless it is on your property and your state laws allow you to do so. Certain states will allow you to shoot someone invading your home property if you feel threatened. Most will not. This is why you see a large number of Americans being forced from their homes along the border, because the immigrants/cartels have made it impossible to stay there or live there safely.

What do you do if a guest is doing something illegal in a room?
Nope.
Share Answer: 
No. As with all federal agencies the USBP "Use of Force" policy is very strict and is solely based around defending the agent and other innocent people. Almost every other country in the world is different. Entering almost any other country can get you shot for simply entering illegally.

I do not believe there is a limit. Please call the hiring office in Minnesota (should be listed on your paperwork) to confirm if there is a limit.
