U.S. Department of Homeland Security MEMPHIS, TN - The U.S. Border Patrol was in Memphis looking for recruits on Saturday, March 21, 2009.


The Memphis Career Fair is part of the agency's nationwide effort to fill thousands of jobs.

This is the second time the border patrol has recruited in the Bluff City and officials say both times were very successful.

Hundreds of people who are not only looking for work, but also hoping to protect the country against foreign and domestic threats turned out Satuday to get more information about the opportunity.

The U.S. Border Patrol has a goal of filling some 11,000 law enforcement and support positions this year.

Officials say they're looking for a diversified group of people.

Border Patrol recruits earn between $36,000 and $46,000 their first year with the potential of earning up to $70,000 a year within three years.
