I could see the Border patrol using M113 is the roughest terrain or the most dangerous areas.

The .gov could contract from Loomis (makes their own armored cars) to build security vehicles.
Seems like the M1117 (Successor to the Cadillac Gage Commando) might be a good fit for what you are suggesting.
