If you have nothing to hide, and are here legally, what do you have to worry about? I encountered that on my way from Tombstone back to Tucson (mind you, when my girlfriend's father gave me the car to drive, so I had to answer the questions!)
They're doing their jobs to cut down on the number of illegals.
I think the guy driving the car was a complete a**. Very rude.

Yeah, what a complete loser. I have to wonder about these checkpoints though. Are illegals really dumb enough to drive up to them?

Not sure what you don't like, Mimzy, but if you are referring to border enforcement you are not going to get a whole lot of sympathy for your point of view on the Arizona forum. We are the victims of the federal neglect.

I wouldnt be such a prick as the driver. I dont see his point and waste of time other than he thinks he's better than the people we hire and pay for to check people for their citizenship.

This guy is a real work of art.. what is he trying to prove... with
his smart-azz attitude. Just answer the question and be on your way!
He knew the checkpoint was there.. he knew what it was there for...
he knew exactly what he was going to say/do even before he got there...

Check-points that can catch illegals, drunks, drug runners, terrorists,
any criminal... is ok in my book
He must have been spanked a lot as a child...

The thing that he really reminds me of is one of those jacka** jocks, or kids starving for being accepted that he acts like that to all authority figures, especially teachers. He seems like the guy that would interrupt class at any given opportunity just to make some kind of statement that has no bearing in life.

I am not sure what this guy is trying to prove either. We have increasing violence on our borders and it is moving into our country. These men were only doing a job and I think he could have simply answered the question. We were recently stopped well inside the USA and we just answered and let them check the car and went on our way. I feel for our border agents, they are damned if the do and damned if they don't.

What an absolute clown. I love the guy's "Jr. Jack Bauer Super Spy Kit" complete with fake 35mm camera. How many shots of the moblie office to his right does he really need? What, does he think that's where they keep the really BIG secrets?
There are a lot of things with our government that I don't agree with, but going out of your way to make a video to show everyone just how much smarter you are than a couple of boarder patrol agents is just stupid. All he did was make himself look like the idiot he is. Way to go 007! Michael Moore you are not.

Keep up the good work agents Cruz and Villa.
