There is no border security.  Ships, their crews and cargos come and go without scrutiny.  Non-mexicans caught at the border are issued a summons to go to court and released INSIDE the US.  The only Terror that is being worked on is to terrorize the population into giving up their civil liberties, social security, and medicare, and pouring billions down the throats of Halliburton, the Carlyle Group and other Bush cronies.

Lucky you, think I would start with comparing MDA with surveillance of threat nations. If you don't know what's out there, how can you defend yourself? I would then go into how the different layers of detection (sub surface, surface and air) are utilized in the EEZ. Also, would go into detail about how each agency does their own detection and how effective it is. Would also go back to pre 9/11 and compare to present and what is coming on the horizon. Lots of info to gather from many different agencies such as USCG, CBP, NOAA, TSA and of course, DHS. Good Luck

Because of 911, we need to protect ourselves.  You didn't specifiy which border, but I think all borders should be protected by troops. (...all 4)of border police.\nI like the idea someone had of helping our neighboring countries improve their livelihoods so people would prefer to  only visit us.

Go to usajobs.gov.  You have to take a test.  Have college/military experience, be willing to move to the border, go to the glynco (academy) for 18 weeks, become fluent in spanish (or very good at it) and pass a background check.\n\nThe duties and descriptions will be listed on the vacancy announcement.  Also, you can go do google search on the border patrol website. The website should also have the vacancy announcements...

How about the Immigration issue or global warming?\nBoth are highly controversial issues.

somebody answered my previous question saying that it appeared to be border control! They found boot tracks that matched those used by border control in the mud around it! I think that is even funnier than the fact that the fences were torn down.

My good friend has been in the border patrol for quite a few years and he genuinally likes it. Good pay and such. He was in the military before that, as well. I do know that you need to know spanish in order to get in, so if you do not speak it, you need to brush up on it.

i don't want to have us look like a police state, and we already have a border patrol, so i say beef up the border patrol , or transfer forces from another Branch somehow.  point is, we need our border patrol to do it, but they need the resources.  also, thanks to any border patrol agents reading, and i would love to see some input from you.

We have to secure both of our borders and do a better job with human intelligence in both Canada and Mexico. It isn't enough to improve our control of access -- some will invariably get through. We also have to know who is trying and for what purpose. For that, we need more effective human intelligence.

A triple fence along the entire border. Use high tech devices.  \n\nBetter trained and definitely higher paid Border Patrol Agents.  They don't make squat.  Lower paid cops is asking for corruption.\n\n$10K fines if you employ an illegal worker.  Jail time for repeat offenders.\n\nLife time ban from any chance of legal immigration for all illegals caught in the US.  Collect DNA and fingerprints from all detainees to determine identity.

Yes, I have an idea what it is like, as I have worked with them in the past.  1. You have to be bilingual. They prefer spanish, as they normally put you on the mexican border to start. You will be sitting in an SUV patrolling the border looking for people sneaking across the border, and drug interdiction. You will apprehend them, book them, and take them back to the border, etc. You will be doing reports and court appearances just like other law enforcement officers. Hope this helps..
