The problem is that roaming bands of JBTs doing random stops for papers is not what the U.S. is about. It's ineffective, costly, and anti-Constitutional. It's about conditioning you to be searched on demand. Are you wiling to bow to the authorities on demand?

They better figure out a way to stop people at the border, or due both the the illegals, and to the actions of our government, there won't be a nation left worth fighting for.

Looks like they were going after illegals here. How do you propose going after illegals without thinking about the plan that Bush has put forward?

It already happens more than you may realize. I was driving home from Louisiana one night after having worked down there for a few days. It wasn't late. I got pulled over on a dark country road (which desctibes most of the roads in Arknasas). The cop was a large black man (not that being black is necessarily significant, but when you are a small white woman, alone at night, there is a certain conditioning). After the usual license, registration and insurance queries, he wanted to search my car....said it was just routine. Now, at this point, I knew he was out of line, but what was I going to do? Fortunately, he was very nice and I don't think he thought I was guilty of anything beyond a having bad headlight, but the point is, I was at a distinct disadvantage and in no position to challenge him. Similar stories are becoming more frequent.
