Hwy 187 is north of the permanent checkpoints so I'm not sure what your point is. The wiki list you posted is incomplete.


No, it runs out of Las Cruces, to Williamsburg, on the outskirts of Truth or Consequences, where there use to be a mobile checkpoint. paralleling I-25 north.
187 crosses under I-25 at the south end of Caballo Lake

187 starts in Hatch. The are checkpoints into Hatch on I-25, Hwy 185, and Hwy 26. You have to go off road or back road to get around the checkpoints, and there are still roving patrols and surveillance in these areas. Border Patrol in the El Paso/Las Cruces area uses SUVs, ATVs, and horses.

North Valley Dr.(185) to Hatch is not a dirt road.

187 is not a dirt road and no boarder patrol checkpoints are along that road, unless they are pop-up sites during the evenings(too hot during the day)

It doesn't matter who started them. Obama owns them and can shut them down any time he chooses.

This is true. It's all about Obama's war on drugs.

Actually, FDR started the war on drugs in 1937. Nixon just gave it a name and a boost.

And some don't value their constitutional rights. But that doesn't give you the right to take them away from the rest of us.
