I suppose it could be taken over by the FBI (who should be merged with the ATF and DEA, but that's another story). The FRP and BEPP are general service type departments, they don't have special agents.

But you are correct; the US Border Patrol definitely needs to go/or undergo a serious militarization program. We cannot afford to continue relying on a band of solo operating NYPD clones in green uniforms to defend our borders; if they cant even stop a few illegals looking for jobs then how are we expected to rely on them to even stop a halfhearted attempt by some rogue Mexican soldiers or drug cartel forces? The tragic part is that many of our government officials are totally ignoring this issue

We can't. Border Patrol Agents, state troopers, and Deputy Sheriffs are ill-equipped to deal with a foe who who is packing 50 cal machine guns. They don't fear police at all.
