Well, of course they are modified. I would want some bullet proof panels and windows on mine too if someone was shooting high caliber rifles at me.
They use (modified) H1 hummers.
border patrol use hummers because the government has a contract to buy them. They are not the same glitzy hummers you see on the roads-they are very basic and have no creature comforts.
They use a lot of GAS!
For the civilian Hummers, there were a number of trim packages available, and some of them might be considered luxurious. For the military HMMWV's, air conditioning in the M11XX series was about as luxurious as it got (but it was a luxury you appreciated, especially in Iraq).
Military Hummers (known as Humvees - HMMWV) are made by AM General Corp. in South Bend, Indiana.
Hummers went on the market in 1991.
It's not the driver that's illegal, but the vehicle. Military vehicles don't have to comply with all the regulations required for civilian vehicles.
The H1 or Hummers which you would see in the military had a diesel and turbo diesel option. The H2 and H3s are both unleaded.
The first civilian Hummer was sold in 1992, however the military version the Humvee was first used in 1984.

No, but it has a hummer look-alike in the military base in the desert. Its called a Patriot. It also spawns at the Easter Basin Naval Station.
