In my opinion it could be a number of different factors. Maybe there is a flaw in their screening process, or maybe that 70% is just because of the sheer amount of applicants per year.

CBP is the largest law enforcement agency in the nation; they likely receive tens of thousands of applications per year, and that could definitely lead to a higher number of disqualified applicants.

Sample size makes a huge impact when talking about percentages.
