Well, kinda, as a matter of fact, YEAH. It would be violating MY civil rights. There are better ways to ferret out illegals than slowing or stopping every citizen, going lawfully about his business with things to do, requiring time-out and be SNOOPED just for choosing that route from point A to point B. There are other ways to get illegals. Like being given the freedom to profile, a right that has been removed.
Yup. In just one day — for daring to travel to one of our taxpaid national parks, I was stopped three times in TX and once in NM.
I was about ready to ram the last BP illegal checkpoint, but that’s the only one where we were waved through.
My husband and I are clean-cut, we hadn’t even been out backpacking and looking “hippie-ish.” We only had a cooler and a couple of small bags. No tinted windows, and the camper shell has a huge clear window in the back too.
Yet, we were detained from entering a historic battlefield because the Stasi had to keep interrogating us and slowed us down that much.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, this was all in the primary checkpoint. Not only the dogs, the mirrors under the car, all of it — but they looked at us suspiciously and I had to answer a slew of invasive questions. I don’t feel like chitchatting with jackboots while out on some very rare vacation.
This is all part of the catch-and-release farce with illegal aliens. Instead of simply enforcing the existing laws, citizens within 100 miles of the border (either side) can be detained and interrogated.
