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.
This varies completely from vehicle to vehicle, station to station, and sector to sector. While an agent may not have direct access to X, Y or Z...he is always in radio contact with the station and sector, so information is readily available.

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.

Wait for him to contact someone. Oh, and get new friends.

This depends entirely on the situation. You accomplish both: tend to the injured and apprehend those it's possible to apprehend.

Yes, the BP have a couple of different special teams which operate in various sectors. These are run by sector level and often with fellow law enforcement agencies (both local and federal). Not very often, but yes.

No. His record and prints will still be in the U.S. immigration system database.
Share Answer: 
Not sure, most parts of the border are not marked (as you noted). However, international law is international law and depends solely on the violated state's policies. If Mexico has strict border policies (which are obviously not enforced at all given the current state of thins) a border patrol agent would be at their mercy. I do imagine if it was an honest mistake, it might be resolved between governments. Once a person enters another country illegally they are solely at the mercy of the country they entered (regardless of LEO affiliation etc.).
