No one likes the Border Patrol, me included, but this is ridiculous.
The Border Patrol violates the 4th amendment on it’s face. Those internal checkpoints are absolutely illegal and immoral.
I like the Border Patrol and have no objection to their check points. I've gone through them many a time. I've also talked with a lot of BP agents and they all hate Obama's interference with their duties.

I like them, in fact, love one of them. . .my son. Like many more as I’ve met many of his peers and they are great stand-up brave young men that fearlessly wander the desert seeking the drug smugglers and human smugglers. . .and usually without a partner. Back-up can be over an hour away.
Son’s been injured on the job fighting illegals and shot a drug smuggler that tried to kill him. . .
A sincere question: Just how far from the border can a BP Agent ask someone if they are an American citizen?
100yrds?
A mile?
Is just clearing the fence enough to make them “home free.”

Supreme Court Case Law: http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/428/543.html
BP checkpoints are legal as it stands.
If you argue they are not legal, petition Congress to write a new law or petition the Supreme Court to change its ruling because we know Supreme Court rulings can ‘evolve.’ Until that happens, they are legal.
