Along the Florida Keys the Border Patrol depends on inter-agency cooperation to help in their primary mission, to detect and apprehend illegal aliens and smugglers trying to get into the United States. Some experts suggest that when Cuban President Fidel Castro dies there may be a mass migration to the United States with the Border Patrol on the front line trying to keep an orderly immigration process active.
