This isn't Red China or the Soviet Union: Citizens’ Protest against Border Patrol Checkpoints Inside the U.S.

The Border Patrol Should be able to Do Its Job On the Border. If Obama and the Politicians would allow Illegal aAliens to be Stopped and Deported as they try to cross the border, then there would be no need for internal checks where Citizens' have every right to refuse to stop or be asked any questions.

The DHS, under Obama, has taken on a Totalitarian bearing more like the PLA or Stasi. m/r

Controversies - Citizens’ Growing Protests against Border Patrol Checkpoints Inside the U.S. - AllGov - News

Some Americans are refusing to answer questions at Border Patrol checkpoints set up many miles away from U.S. borders, believing the questions posed by Border Patrol agents are unacceptable for law abiding citizens.
Many of these protestors are also using their dashboard cameras to record their encounters with agents, some of whom have resorted to breaking windows, dragging motorists from their vehicles and detaining them, according to The Houston Chronicle.
The newspaper reports “these travelers are among the latest to join what appears to be an informal alliance of people, possibly into the hundreds, recording their encounters at Border Patrol checkpoints,” and that “some of the travelers appear to be making a stand for what they say are their rights and contend that the government, which has long drawn support for doing whatever is needed to protect the nation's borders, is going too far.”
These checkpoints are not at international points of entry to the U.S. nor necessarily within close proximity to the U.S. border, but farther inland, within a 100-mile distance of U.S. borders and coasts. It has been estimated that between 34 and 170 such checkpoints exist inland from the U.S.-Mexico border.
