After watching, and reading, most of what has been posted on this incident, I couldn’t agree with you more.

One thing that keeps coming up, in my mind, is that the pastor says he has the right to travel within the united states without unwarranted search and seizure. I agree with him there. However, he is, by all accounts, crossing the border. Why, otherwise, is he at a “checkpoint” at the border?

Is this a contradiction within the story, or is it just me?

it wasn’t at the border. it was well within the US.

He was NOT crossing the border. He was 100% of the time inside the US. These are internal checkpoints.

I have never been across any of our borders. Yet when I was in New Mexico I got stopped at a checkpoint more than 80 miles from the border.

The Pastor was stopped at an internal checkpoint and not at the border.
