They've got the tools to find the people sneaking across on foot/trucks and the homemade submarines we're seeing on the news lately.
It's my understanding that it is perfectly legal for the Border Patrol, DEA, USCG, etc to request the use of military (USAF, USN, etc) assets to help them with surveillance, detection, tracking, interception, etc. However, the LE agency (or USCG) personnel must get the warrants and make the arrest.

I believe this was the intent of DHS. To allow these services to interact and share. In reality, we still have departmental turf wars and budget hording.
