#1 After that list of what they were NOT there for, I expected "We're in business to continue to collect paychecks" and/or "We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs".

#2 How on earth do they know beforehand which particular car contains weapons, and which particular group contains terrorists rather than mere illegal migrant workers or child molesters returning to hunt?

#4 There might be some confusion here. Customs and Border Patrol used to be independent of Immigration and Naturalization, and they had very different missions. The CPB mission was what he said, and the INS mission was stopping illegals, etc. As far as stopping narcotics, that was kind of under DEA, the Narcotics Control Board, and the Coast Guard.

But CBP and INS were merged under Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). But while in that umbrella organization, they might still be separate departments.

Comparably, both the FBI and the ATF are under the umbrella of the Justice Department, but they also have different, yet sort of overlapping missions.

Put it all together, and he might be right.
