Great, give the agents more money to not do what Border Patrol is supposed to do. I live about 5 miles from the Mexican border, Three out of every five law enforcement vehicles is BP. They're still not allowed to arrest anyone who's "gotten by", not actually on there way from illegally crossing the border. But they still are required to perform Search & Rescue if an illegal is reported lost or injured.
Before they were absorbed by Homeland, they were just a bunch of good ole boys. You cold stop & talk with an agent whether on the road or out in the desert. Everyone around here would go out of their way to help one. Now, BP is a bunch of entitled Fed dicks that no one can be bothered with.
