I suppose this will sound like I am stirring the pot now, but if Mohammed Derka Derka or Jaime del Coca get stopped, answer "Yes, I am an American citizen," and are then free to go, why have the damn check in the first place? Seriously, sounds more and more like an expensive farce.

I'd be more impressed if the Agent said, "Sir, step out of the car now and show me your ID, or my colleagues and I will forcibly remove you and charge you with a felony." But I suppose they don't have that power, for a variety of good reasons. (Are citizens required to carry proof of citizenship within X miles of the border? Do you have to demonstrate citizenship to get a driver's license in border States? How about if Oklahomans fly in to a border town and rent a car?)

Driver was being a dick.

He knew he was going to be a dick.

He was filming what happens when someone goes through a checkpoint being a dick.

These guys are just trying to do their job. There job is to keep illegal immigrants out. If this is what it takes then I see no problem with it.

It's also to keep trailers full of desperate people from dying in the dark, in the hot Texas sun, in a box, as they tend to do occasionally when crossing illegally.

man...dont loose your civil rights for the fear!
fear has been thrown out as a tool to curtail your rights...fight for your rights...
its the only solid ground you`ve got
thank god for the magna carte in England ..and your American constitution...otherwise they could make laws to "make it easy for themselves"
dont be blind...be pure!

Fixed! Carter never would have had the guts!

i don't like checkpoints, spotchecks, dui checkpoints....whatever you want to call them. but facts are facts......that dude just made his own life very difficult. all that was required was one word. "yes". then he'd have been on his way.

definitely a dickhead showing how much of a dickhead he could be...it's a trend that is going to end in an incident that will bring out the whiners screaming injustice. it would have been a lot more entertaining if a state trooper walked up to the car, tased his bellybutton then dragged him from the car.

They shoulda shot the fugger and tossed his rotting corpse to the coyotes!  The Dick {not my word} was waisting our time and money because he would not answer an easy YES or NO question.
not to mention he just showed some looney how to get past a checkpoint :huh

cheap labour?

(serious response - unlicensed + uninsured drivers are apparently something of a problem and potentially a danger to shuffler and his family, I'm sure there are other immigrant related risks too that I am not considering)

You'd be surprised how much drugs and illegals are caught at checkpoints. Nothing near all of them.... but some.
