In Sweden the cops were checking for illegal immigrants in the subways. The Liberals became mad that they were targetting Muslim looking people more than anyone. Which basically means Liberals would have wanted the Police to be checking up on equal amounts of Swedish looking people and thereby wasting Police resources in order to not be racist. Leftism is a mental disorder.

I love how I was asked the most pointless questions passing through a border patrol check point outside of Joshua Tree. The agents were abrupt and fairly rude....and they LOVED to stare and lear at my female companions - to the point they said they felt uncomfortable. They are there to make us feel safe, yet I felt a coldness and came away wondering how much money is being wasted with that damn thing. Cartels are INSANELY smart and connected. You don't think they figured out about the stationary check point and just moved operations. Really large waste of money. Put those resources RIGHT on the border.

At checkpoints you do not have to answer any questions. They do not have a right to search your car without a warrant or probable cause. Do not pull into any station or area they tell you to pull into. Ask “am I being detained or am I free to go?” And if they say “you are not being detained and free to go?”. If they say you are under detainment or not free to go. Ask for a supervisor and call any superior you can. You can also just remain silent or keep asking if you’re free to go. This pertains to all races and nationalities.

[@soapbubbles745]

I voted for Trump. I agree that we need to toughen up on illegal immigration. However, there is no reason for the boarder patrol to have the right to stop people 100 miles within any boarder of the United States. No citizen should be forced to stop for a boarder patrol agent when they are already in America. Everyone should be alarmed, regardless of political view.

[@joshuawood1436]

Agreed. But the left will use any inch given to broaden their corrupt ideals, and further bolster illegal immigration. We should abolish all checkpoints after the wall is completed, the only reason the checkpoints exist is because we do not have the wall to begin with.

If the wall is stronger then they wont need this type of check point. There's so much loop holes and places to sneak in so yes of course they need checkpoints. In my option they should give residents a special type of pass they can show when they pass by the checkpoint maybe a show/flash or a scan type system.

[@NatsumeKonno]

@James Price so I guess your fine with illegals sneaking in and using our tax money. I guess when illegals get free health care and houses everyone will be real happy and are okay with using the taxes for people who dont work legally. I would hate to see border patrol asking more then an ID and pushing and checking your car. Why you think I'm suggesting something like an EZ pass for quick travel. It's very annoying every time you have to stop to show I'd and check the car if you live there.

[@trl2828]

Immigration and Nationality Act of 1946 does great Boarder patrol the power by law. The law granted immigration agents the authority “to interrogate any alien or person believed to be an alien as to his right to be or to remain in the United States” and to “board and search for aliens any vessel within the territorial waters of the United States and any railway car, aircraft, conveyance, or vehicle.” It was later determined by the Federal courts that they have a 100 mile range from a natural boarder.

[@kichansilva]

Joshua Wood you have so much to learn about the US's involvement in supporting political corruptness in Mexico.

[@trl2828]

lol you mean the President-Elect that that sent President Trump a letter talking about working together to improve the relationship between the US and Mexico and the one that wants to create boarder police force? That President-Elect of Mexico? Mexico needs the US, the US does not need Mexico. That is how the relationship works. Keep the Mexicans in Mexico unless they want to come through the legal channel. If Mexico is allowed to secure it southern boarder, so is the USA.

Maybe if Americans were a bit more " worldly" and knew what it was like to live in a country where you dont have rights then they might not be so willing to give them away without question or protest. Live in a place where the police dont need a warrant to enter and search your home. Where the police can demand ID for no reason and arrest you for not complying. Where a man can be jailed for delivering a pizza or entering a library , attending his grandsons christening or maybe a place where putting up a Christmas tree is a death penalty offence.

It's a massive border that will not be able to be completely controlled until we have robots or some shit, but we have to enforce the border.

In fact, I appreciate the fact that those agents are there doing their job. We'll see how diligent these border check point observers are this summer when the temperature reaches 100 or higher.

[@wangbar1]

I don’t see a problem.

[@mutexnet]

Let's hope the agents get more aggressive. They are Illegally here - a violation of Federal law. As the biker said about the checkpoint - less drugs, less crime, less break-ins. Go President Trump - send them back if they are here illegally.

"The hundred mile zone".....Do people realize that there are literally millions of us living within 100 miles of the border? I live in El Paso and we have 600,000 people here and we all see and go through the checkpoints regularly. In all the years since these checkpoints were started, they only problems seem to be in a few small towns in Arizona. Ive never been asked anything other than if I am a US citizen and never been asked for proof. Ive also never been searched and dont know of anyone who has been treated badly. Keep in mind that El Paso is the busiest border in the country so if there are problems, they should be here. Im pretty sure this is a management issue in Arizona that probably boils down to a small number of incompetent individuals. Nothing wrong with standing up against poor treatment and zealous officials but when the news media portrays this as a national issue as if the border patrol is some kind of evil organization, it almost guarantees to real problems won't get looked at. Good luck, AZ!

[@trolljones4386]

Why should there be immigration checkpoints inside the US and not on the border is the real question here?

[@mountainrambler1077]

My Wife and I was stopped just inside Texas on I-10 leaving New Mexico, just asked was everyone in the truck American Citizens, her mind was put at ease when I spoke with my Southern Accent ! 😆

[@albinoviper2876]

if you want to get rid of that check point then a big beautiful wall needs to be built.

[@dougballou6108]

Best argument I have heard for a border wall. Patrol the border, not the border states.

Thank you for keeping us safe. I don’t want our country to become like EU.

[@PANCHOVILLAMATO]

Speaking as someone who grew up on the border in one state and now live a few feet from the border in another state, I can unequivocally state that these checkpoints, to the extent that they become entrenched fixtures at specific points along any highway are completely worthless... here's why. Drug & human smugglers know exactly where they are, know exactly when the dogs are on duty, know when the lazy shift starts and know exactly when the checkpoint is closed. Today, with everyone carrying cell phones, signals from a lead car are so easy. So the smugglers know when to go thru the checkpoint and when to go around it. The only real way for checkpoints to work is to make them truly random. 8 hrs here, then 8 hrs somewhere else.... but the BP has gotten lazy, preferring to choose a spot they think is a choke point. Ha... no such thing for smugglers. This video is proof. These "citizens" know every move the BP make at that checkpoint. If they know, don't you think the multi-billion drug smuggling industry knows too !! My issue is that I feel the BP should ask every single person that crosses thru the checkpoint their citizenship status. Otherwise it amounts to discrimination based on skin color.

Trump is the only president to follow through with what he said he's gunna do. Every other president say a bunch of shit and then do none of it

[@Erin-Thor]

What I don’t understand is WHY can’t the license plates be scanned on approach, so the boarder agents already know who the vehicle belongs to, local or visitor, and have a simple simple random or unique situation pull over for a quick check. If a local is just going about their day, flash a green light and send them on their way.

[@nokiot9]

I live in the 100 mile zone. I’ve passed through that arrivaca checkpoint dozens of times. Never ONCE have I ever been asked to prove my status. They take you at your word almost 100% of the time. But I’m not a Mexican American citizen.
