1. 7 but 3 of them are on vacation. The other 4 are on break.
2. ICE has approximately 15,000 employees working in 400 offices nationwide and over 50 locations internationally. Of those approximately 5000 are Special Agents. There are Detention and Removal Officers, Federal Protection Police (guard federal buildings), Investigative Enforcement Assistants, Lawyers, Support personnel, etc. In addition, many of the detention centers are private contract facilities (like Correction Corporation of America etc.). In addition to interior enforcement of the immigration laws (Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Border Patrol has PRIMARY responsibility at the border, but ICE has secondary responsibility at the border), ICE is responsible for Customs violations including commercial fraud investigations, outbound cargo violations (shipping war goods to unfriendly countries), child pornography investigations (other agencies do this also), narcotics investigations (with an importation connection), and a host of other duties. Prior to the merger of the law enforcement personnel from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the Customs Service Office of Enforcement/Investigation, Customs was responsible for the investigation/enforcement of over 400 laws and 40 agencies. ICE inherited the majority of those laws, plus ALL the immigration laws! An ICE agent has more "jurisdiction" than just about any other federal agency. ICE agents are assigned to FBI task forces. ICE agents are also assigned to DEA task forces. This enables these task forces to better do their jobs. ICE agents are also assigned to the majority of US Embassies and to the Container Security Initiatives in all participating countries! This is not to say that ICE has not had it's problems (mostly due to financial funding due to being a new agency and the politics of immigration enforcement - some congressmen/women do not want immigration laws enforced others want more enforcement), but it is still the premier Homeland Security Law enforcement agency. AND it is getting better EVERYDAY!
3. Doesn't make any difference how many...for every law our corrupt government passes to appease middle-class Americans over this illegal alien debaucle they pass 2 or 3 to tie their hands...but our government or the media doesn't tell us that, do they?
4. Not nearly enough. There are approximately 12,000 Border Patrol agents nation wide. In El Paso Sector there are approximately 100 on the "rubber gun squad". They are there because they have managed to piss off someone with brass on their collars or offend some ILLEGAL. Any way you look at it there just is not enough.
