Never mind if the guy is a dbag...
They do these check points up here too. Its fucked up beyond belief.
A friend of my moms was heading to the Olympic peninsula and they had a checkpoint on the Hood Canal bridge. She was driving college students to a plant nursery and two of the students were exchange students. They didnt have their passports or visas on them or anything, not even thinking they'd be asked to show them.
The border patrol agents went fucking ape shit. Pulled her out of the car, threatened to arrest her for trafficing illegals, all sorts of stupid shit. She didn't even do anything to resist or argue with them, when the two people said they were exchange students and didnt have ID when they were asked the agents just flipped.
The federal government can set up border checkpoints 50 miles (it might be more, I cant remember if its 50 or 100) from the border. How the border between the US and Canada sets up in the water off Seattle they could put a checkpoint in downtown Seattle. Think thats insane? They set up a checkpoint in the middle of Forks, Washington and demanded papers from everyone who went down town.
Its bullshit. They were doing random checks on the ferries up in the islands and one of my dads clients (school district) said he had mexican students families afraid to leave their houses. The ICE agents even went to the schools on San Juan and asked for the names of all the students at the school. The principal at the high school freaked and called my dad and my dad told the agents to fuck off. There is nothing illegal about undocumented workers childrens attending school.
This is an invasion of the states right to govern and protect its territory. Federal immigration agents should be at the border and other ports of entry and no place else.
