Are border patrol agents trained to screen people who may be terrorists?

Question

Seeing as I think they're suppsoed to sit there and watch people jump the border and not do anything, I assume they must be employed for a purpose. I was thinking that that purpose may be to try to identify people wearing turbins or burkas coming accross. You may think this is satire, but I don't know of any other way to word it. What's the big scare and concern for while the freakin' borders are hanging wide the f*** open!!?
