Its the fact I am not required to answer. If they wanted to catch illegals why are they stopping people 90 miles inside the boarder. When I get stopped by a police officer for speeding I don't offer up oh yea I always do x over the speed limit because I can and have enough money to not care about the fine.
I drive to Louisiana a lot and constantly see a truck marked "boarder patrol" right outside of the east side of lake Charles. Why do we need someone from boarder patrol there?
I remember I was about 50 miles away from lake Charles on the Texas side of the border, and I would've thought the same thing, but that dry bulk 40ft trailer sitting next to the truck stop that cooked a bunch of illegals inside of it changed my way of thinking. Just saying. If I do recall, there was a rash of abandoned illegals in trailers, I think it even made the news at some points. I know that was years ago, but still. I'd like to see more presence along the border, and leave the ones that make it through to get caught by the sheriff's and city cops...
I'm not giving away my rights if I so choose to be forthcoming with information. It is a loss of rights if I have no choice... Or am I missing something here?
