It's probably not that he has caught 12,000 people, it's just that he has caught the same 1,200 people ten times now.
Most border patrol agents are doing a good job but they are like the one legged man in an a$$ kicking contest, outnumbered and overwhelmed. They don't have enough of them as it is, can't hire to fill the vacancies that come open, and if that isn't bad enough they are beholden to whatever the PC policy is delegated from Washington. In the wake of Compeon and Ramos, it is not much of a suprise that number one, nobody wants to work for the border patrol, two, agents get out at the first equal or greater opportunity to leave, and three, those that remain are scared to do their job.
Aside from the current economic situation, the southern border is going to be the place to watch. That country is currently in meltdown from government corruption, drug cartel turf wars, and other criminal shenanigins that has resulted in thousands of dead bodies and counting. Which, leads me back to the story. With the crime at the border hell yeah he should have the right to protect his property and he'd be nuts to do it without a gun.
