Even if they do catch an illegal, all they are going to do is release them anyway.

Damn, every once in a while, I agree with the ACLU. The border patrol should have no juristiction once you are away from the border. They have been doing this on the southern border and also setting up “checkpoints” that I believe are illegal.

I agree. Interior border checkpoints are a direct violation of the Constitution. They passed a bill in the 70s to allow it - not sure if it made it to the Supreme Court yet.

This is an especially bad case. I live near the Olympic Peninsula and the Federal Idiots have built a new station here and staffed it with some 20 people, a complete waste of time and money. I can guarantee there are no Mexicans swimming across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Canada to illegally emigrate to the US, which means these jackwagons are just going to harass tourists driving around the Olympic Peninsula.

I often take visitors around the Peninsula and I guarantee they will regret pulling me over, because I will call them out for the traitorous scum that they are, refuse to answer any questions, and point out what a worthless bunch of freeloaders they are.

You're right - I too am in the somewhat uncomfortable and extremely rare position of being in agreement with the ACLU - at least in part. That is, I don't think border patrol should be setting up roadblocks and arbitrarily demanding papers from us. Border patrol should be, well, on the border. Stop the illegals there.

However, I have absolutely no problem with them profiling and paying extra attention to hispanic looking people. Why? It's called using your resources effectively. How many blonde haired blue eyed illegals are there? Probably not many. How many hispanic illegals? Current estimate is what, 12 million or so? Ok, don't waste your time on blondes and red-heads. It is simple efficiency people. That's what we want from our government servants right? So why hamstring them with some PC BS?

WRONG! It is a mere 20 miles across the Strait of Juan De Fuca to Port Angeles (PA to the locals).

PA has a Ferry run to Vancouver, B.C., or small motor boats routinely cross both ways in between stormy weather.

BTW, since every victory for the ACLU ALWAYS results in another destruction of an Americian Civil Liberty, I propose that it should be called the ACLDU.

Planes and boats were invented long ago. These days you are never really far from an international port of entry somewhere.

The ACLU is acting on behalf of a major new donor who wants more cheap labor.
