Why do the border patrol agents carry guns?

Uhm because they are law enforcement, who CARRY GUNS and there are a lot of illegals who are more than just seeking employment...they are criminals. And, let's not forget one of the easiest routes for a terrorist to hit the US is through the Mexican border.

So the gov't can throw them into prison when they use them.


the_skipper_also
because criminals shoot at them.


Duh
A clue would be that they are Law Enforement Officers.

Because there are many ''Drug lords'' who tries to cross the borders or people who are sometimes running from the Law.
They carry guns to protect us and themselves as well.

You realize most of the drugs in this country come through the US-Mexico border...

They might as well throw rocks, since the US gov't won't back them up when they shoot drug dealers.


James
To handle violent Mexicans. Thanks for asking!


Chi Guy
To arrest criminals trying to sneak into the US.

For their own protection, especially from those smuggling over drugs and illegal immigrants. That's their way of making money (smugglers) and some will do anything for money.
