WOW! I think that most of the agents there are young and uncertain about what they want from BP. Also they might just realize what a failure the government has been or repent from joining having seen the sensitive side to immigration.

Patrol The Turnover
Pittsburgh Tribune Review,
September 22, 2008
The disturbingly high turnover rate of new U.S. Border Patrol agents -- about 30 percent of entry-level agents leave within the first 18 months -- suggests the underlying problems are at the highest levels of the government.
The Bush administration deserves credit for trying to fulfill its pledge of increasing the number of agents to 18,000 by the end of the year. That's up from 12,000 two years ago and double from eight years ago. It costs $14,700 to train just one person.
That means 42 percent of agents have been on the job for less than three years, according to The Associated Press.
The overall turnover rate was 10.9 percent since October 2007
