Feds Detain At Least One Border Crosser…James O’Keefe!
Daily Caller ^ | 6/22/2015 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 06/22/2015 6:29:18 PM PDT by Crazieman

Conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents Monday while returning through an airport to U.S. soil. Why? Because he once filmed a video in which he illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border. And customs agents told him he will be detained every single time he enters the country from overseas henceforth.

Sounds like he’s been given secondary inspection for life. Pretty clear harassment & most likely ordered by the Obama Dept of Injustice.

Wait a second!

That was NOT James!!!!

Apparantly, it was Osama Bin Laden himself!

(and if Osama was impersonating James to get him in this trouble, woe betide him... she shall receive short shrift.)

[ Conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe ]

I disagree vehemently with this slander!

It should read: Conservative filmmaker and Actual Journaist James O’Keefe

I used to get secondary inspection every night that I came back, but back then you could drink while they searched your car and tore it apart.

You cannot enter the country “illegally” if you are a citizen you can come in by any means necessary and not expect to be harassed past “stop/freeze.”

Can he take legal action?

Fine, that is all James wanted, for the Feds to actually start upholding the border. But you and I both know they only selectively enforce the laws, illegals get a free pass.

Hypocrite thy name is liberals.

Those were my thoughts as well. Similar to getting booked for burglary for climbing into your own house through the window. Can one illegally enter their own home?

Yet the real illegals get more rights and privileges than the native-born. What a twisted nation we’ve become.

It seems every government agency is now a political arm of current political party running our government. Will this never end?.?.?

I’d tell them, while they were feeling me up, “Don’t you wish you had private’s as large as mine?”

Who does he think he is? An illegal alien?

just remind any liberal you see about this.

then ask them if they voted pro-abortion or anti-tax cut?

because the next republican president will make sure to drop their standing on the 0bamacare waiting list and send the irs on audit them into the next decade

he’ll also stop enforcing any laws he sees fit... just like the border today.

Short answer..NO! Think back to Hitler's Germany.

Of course they target James O’Keefe... he’s a good person. Seems only lowlifes and illegals are welcomed here now a days.

What’s the point? Detain him. Just to piss him off, to set an example? It’s not going to have any purpose except to waste TSA agents time, and they know it.

We’ve turned into the old Soviet Union with a useless bureaucracy.

The Regime shows its usual pettiness in this behavior. Meanwhile, I wouldn’t be the least surprised to hear terrorists have managed to waltz across the border unchallenged.
