The comment about the power of CBP patrols was the focus of an NPR story
this morning.  Note the mention of polygraph tests:

"More than half of the applicants failed to clear the exam, with the
overwhelming majority giving us detailed admissions as to why it was they
failed the exam. It was what these applicants had done in their past that
most concerned us. They included serious felony crimes, active involvement
in smuggling activities and several confirmed infiltrators who actually
were employed by drug trafficking organizations who had been directed to
seek out positions within Customs and Border Protection to advance ongoing
criminal conspiracies, essentially be spies in our midst."

(for IP, if you wish)

Two notes about this:

1. This is not going to be good for the job market:

   Trump Deportation Threats to Constrict Already-Tight Job Market

https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-02-22/trump-deportation-threats-to-constrict-already-tight-job-market

Excerpt:

   "President Donald Trump's sweeping crackdown on undocumented
   immigrants will strain an already tight U.S. job market, with
   one study suggesting that removing all of them would cost the
   economy as much as $5 trillion over 10 years."


2. Attached are three screenshots.  One is the ad for border patrol
agents.  One enumerates the requirements.  One spells out the training.
I invite everyone to read these, note the absence of *any* educational
requirement, and consider the enormous amount of power about to handed
over to just about anyone who can manage an 11-week training course.
