We have not reached "Gestapo" levels, yet. That level of brutality needs to be put in perspective. Failure to produce papers, all in order, does not warrant a 9mm from das Luger , to the head. Yet. That, after a session on the push me pull you machine under guidance of der gute dokter.
Let's remember what the Nazis really were, before making such comparisons. We don't have it that bad, yet.
Don't make it sound as if it happened over night.....
Got news for all of us, we are seeing a repeat of Germany, in the 1920's & 30's, right here in the USA.
I do not understand why folls are so rude to these BP agents who are doing their job and searching for illegals or contraband. We complain about both but do not cooperate as if the entire burden for policing will fall on uniformed BP and designated personnel only. For shame.
Why? Seems they had internal checkpoints and had to justify where they were going, and we have internal checkpoints and have to justify where we are going.

We should NEVER have to prove we are citizens if we are breaking no laws.
If you are going to be all broad and put it like that yes you guys are correct, lets just say they did things a little differently in Nazi Germany... trust me, all these YouTube videos of 20 something libertarian dudes smart talking US Border Patrol agents is nothing.
Let me know when these checkpoints are accompanied by tanks, US military, and they start shooting the people who drive by.

Maybe if they were at the border and not 50 miles in.

It is bullsh-t but i think it really shows off people's ignorance when they compare it to Germany in the 1930s.
Yeah, in the age of Internet - anything goes. The more you compare the smarter you look. Let me prove it to you: the Nazis consumed 3 meals a day? We also eat 3 meals... Voila...
However, if we focus on the real issue- the southern border - it is a bad, troubled place and the US bears the overall responsibility. If other policies were in place in the last 50 years, (instead of the double standard "open door") both we and the immigrants would have been in a better place.
If you are confused about the behavior of the border patrol look at the behavior of many South Americans who are coming into the country illegally. This is why we can't have nice things.
