The Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) is the tactical unit of the US Border Patrol. Their mission is "to respond to terrorist threats of all types anywhere in the world in order to protect our nation’s homeland”. Formed in, wait for it, 1984, BORTAC has steadily expanded its scope and mission capabilities. The Bush administration expanded the border patrol to 20,000 members and increased its budget to the $5bn it is today.
