When I've been questioned --- the border patrol just asks you where you're going, then they ask you where you're from, they might ask you a couple other things --- it's pretty obvious to them if you're an American and answering honestly.

It's no different than being able to spot a Midwesterner or Texan or Bostonian --- there are speech patterns, accents, mannerisms etc that make it pretty obvious.

I know illegals who have been picked up many times and sent back --- they say the agents are respectful --- except for a certain type --- you'd be surprised at which type the don't like being picked up by.

Okay fair enough... but I just question how fast some people are willing to make excuses for what police/border patrol/etc. do.
