Liberals are outraged over video footage that has emerged out of Florida, where a team of U.S. Border Patrol agents was recorded performing a previously forbidden practice that former President Barack Obama hated, and we could not be more proud of President Donald Trump for bringing it back.

Its no secret that U.S. Border Patrol agents had their hands tied behind their backs for nearly eight years while former President Barack Obama was in office. Illegal immigration hit record highs, and the morale of our Border Patrol agents suffered greatly due to the devastating policies put in place by the Obama administration. Now that President Trump is giving the Border Patrol the power to do its job again, liberals are furious.
According to Fox News, a viral video that shows U.S. Border Patrol agents boarding a Greyhound bus in Florida and asking for proof of citizenship has sparked liberal outrage across social media. Many of the ignorant snowflakes felt that the rights of the bus passengers were violated and said that the Border Patrol agents had no right to ask bus passengers for I.D. They could not have been more wrong.
The incident reportedly took place on Friday, January 19, 2018, on a Greyhound bus in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The bus was stopped by a team of hard-working Border Patrol agents who boarded the bus and began asking passengers for proof of citizenship. Immediately, people on the bus began recording the incident as if they were witnessing some kind of human rights violation.
Quickly, people on the bus began reacting dramatically. One woman could be heard saying, This is new, while another woman responded, This is the first time, when asked if she had experienced an immigration checkpoint on a bus before. As the clip continues, another woman who did not have proof of citizenship was escorted off the bus by Border Patrol agents and detained, according to CBS News.
Millions of viewers on social media have since seen the video, and of course, many echoed the ignorant blithering of some of the bus passengers who felt their rights were being violated by this new practice. In reality, Border Patrol agents have been conducting immigration checkpoints on public transportation for decades. Because the practice was forbidden under the Obama administration, people recently assumed it was some new cruel tactic.
Its so typical of liberals to run at the mouth without checking their facts first. Many who have seen the video claim that the Border Patrol agents violated the Fourth Amendment rights of passengers, which prohibits unreasonable search and seizure. If they had taken the time to research our laws, they would find that the Border Patrol is allowed to operate immigration checkpoints and conduct spot checks with probable cause within a 100-mile zone that runs along the border of the contiguous United States.
The entire state of Florida falls within the 100-zone in which the Border Patrol is permitted to conduct these immigration enforcement tactics. Its a traditional enforcement tactic, Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies, told Fox News. Its long known that smugglers often use public transportation like buses for their trade.
She added, Sometimes they are based on leads. Sometimes they conduct random checkpoints. Its a deterrent. Its like a speed trap, and it does result in the public being safer. Vaughan also said that in past years, Greyhound and other transport services would typically work with the Border Patrol to help combat smugglers using coach service to move illegal immigrants across the country.
Vaughan noted that the Trump administration is credited with giving Border Patrol agents the go-ahead to resume conducting these practices. This is something that the Obama administration shut down because they believed that it made people feel uncomfortable, she said. And, now, were seeing a return to this under the Trump administration. This is good law enforcement that is legitimate and effective. Its a good way to catch smugglers and is a significant deterrent.
Our Border Patrol agents could not be thanked enough for the tremendous job they are doing. The fact of the matter is that liberals shut down our immigration enforcement activities for years so that they could flood our country with illegals and increase their voting base to undermine our Democracy. Thank God, President Donald Trump is putting a stop to this and that we have Border Patrol agents who are willing to do this extremely difficult and dangerous job.
Works for me! And for the seasonal workers coming in on temporary visas to work the fields,their employees should be required to post the bonds.
I've said the same for years. Put their employer on the hook and you'll see major improvements in short order.
Time to stop letting these businesses bring in people, dump their kids in the schools, let them use the hospitals for free, etc.
Employers should also be liable for all their healthcare costs (without limit) as long as they remain in the country. No more stiffing the hospitals and driving up insurance costs for everyone else.
Even that asshole Anthony Kennedy would find it hard to stop such a law.
Thanks for taking the time of identifying and pointing out all his yellow slanted bullshit. Hondopes agenda is simple. His choice didn't win (probably didn't even come close) and now, NOTHING Trump does is good. He's stuck in that Ron Paultard 12 year losing loop of bitch bitch bitch... cry cry cry.
Unfortunately for him, Trump IS trying to address and complete some things WE'VE ALL BEEN SCREAMING FOR ON THESE FORUMS, A WALL for one. Now, that shit ain't good enough for DickTard and Hondope... shows you their true colors.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح

Which means that entire states are now constitution-free zones.
But of course, Parsons doesn't see the problem here.

Not only that,but put their employers on the hook to provide the seasonal workers with safe and reasonable living conditions. Things like running water,flush toilets,hot water,and the ability to refrigerate and cook their food isn't asking too much. After all,we are supposed to be a civilized people.
If they whine about how all this will raise the price of labor,tell them they can avoid the upgrades by hiring Americans.
Time to stop letting these businesses bring in people, dump their kids in the schools, let them use the hospitals for free, etc.
There ain't no such critter as "Free". Ask the cow about the price of steak and hamburger.
What it amounts to is a taxpayer subsidy to the large corporate farmers.
While you are at it,limit employment visas to only the people that are going to be employed. Poor people coming here and bringing their families with them don't have much incentive to go back home once the crops are picked.
NO minors,and above all,NO PREGNANT WOMEN!
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Which means that entire states are now constitution-free zones.
HTH do you figure that?
Name ONE Constitutional RIGHT a foreign invader has in the US,other than the right to be arrested and deported,or shot to death if he or she resists.
Despite what Oprah tells you,"Weze iz NOT de Wurld|". We are an independent nation,and we have the rights to seal our borders from invasion.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
And if American citizens have their fourth amendment rights violated in the process - it's no big deal, right Parsons?
How are American citizens having their rights violated by the government rounding up and deporting invaders? Do you think you have some sort of right to hire an illegal alien maid to clean your house for slave wages? Is this you,Hillary?
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
American citizens have constitutional rights - unless they live in the 100-mile zone.
That means entire states in many cases.
You are a Drama Queen. Name ONE American citizen that has been deported by the INS.
BTW,asking you for your ID is NOT un-Constituitonal. Every cop that has ever made a traffic stop anywhere in the country has asked the drivers for their ID's,as well as the right to ask any passengers for ID's.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Name ONE American citizen that has been deported by the INS.
No one has claimed that any have been.
Then explain why you have your panties all in knot about this?
Are you,or are you not in favor of finding,arresting,and deporting illegal aliens?
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Are you,or are you not in favor of finding,arresting,and deporting illegal aliens?
Of course I am in favor of deporting them.
No American citizens have been deported - why should they be?
The point is that the rights of law-abiding American citizens are being violated simply because they live within a magical 100-mile zone where the fourth amendment doesn't apply.

BTW,in the interest of full-disclosure, I knew and was friends with an illegal alien from Portugal from the time of my birth until he died in the 1980's.
AFAIK,nobody knew,or really cared why he did it,but what he did was known to everyone locally. He dived off of a ship passing by close to the Atlantic coast on it's way to Norfolk Va,and swam ashore in the US in the early 1920's. His name was Manual Sandavol,and he never did learn to speak good English. Or teach me how to speak ANY Portuguese.
In fact,he spoke no English at all when he swam ashore and was picked up by local haul sein fishermen. That was a remote area at the time,with no paved roads or even bridges. If you wanted to travel to the city to shop,you rode in a boat to the mainland and caught a bus or train.
His language skills were never a real problem,though. It was a small community where everyone fished for a living,and being Portuguese,small boats and fishing from them was no mystery to him.
He ended up building a little house,fathering a few children,and earning his way until he was too old and crippled to work. Somehow or other,probably with the help of a local state representative, he ended up with the paperwork to become a citizen so he could pay taxes and retire on SS.
AFAIK,nobody ever knew why he fled Portugal and never went back and even refused to talk about the country or life there,but MY opinion was he had some problems with the government there and was running for his life. He never once mentioned what town he was from,if he had any relatives,etc,etc,etc,and nobody really cared. LOTS of people showed up for his funeral,though. His name was Manuel,but everybody always called him "Hap" because he was always happy and laughing or smiling.

HUH?? The Illegal invaders incredibly ARE given MANY constitutional protections.
You are correct. They should have NONE.
They have the right to expect to not be shot on sight,and to be treated humanely once caught.
We are not barbarians.

I hear ya. As you note this is an issue, THE issue that is utterly wrong and bizarre. But not to Statists.
Has it been discerned just why this has become US policy when illegal invaders are swarming in the open in Illegal Sanctuary Cities and States?
Is it just to appease Democrats and GOPe Globalists? This is another ridiculous policy of the Dubya-0bama regimes that Trump needs to address ASAP.

You live in a fantasy world. No Americans have lost rights just because of where they live. The cops have the right to stop anyone they want at any time to ask for their ID's. That's what cops do. It's why they are hired.
Just because it might happen more often closer to the border doesn't change anything.

LE has the "right" to stop anyone they believe is about to cause harm, break the law, disturb the peace, or jeopardize the safety of the citizenry. PERIOD. They are not Gestapo.
The cops have the right to stop anyone they want at any time to ask for their ID's.
If you are just walking down the sidewalk and not breaking the law, you aren't required to have any ID on you.
As soon as you drive a car or board mass transit or try to enter a federal courthouse, the courts back the police on being able to demand ID at the police's discretion.
I don't recommend people wander around without ID but there may be times when this is useful info. For instance, if you put on trunks and go to the beach or pool for a quick swim, maybe you don't want to carry ID on you.

But...but...according to Pete ("The cops have the right to stop anyone they want at any time to ask for their ID's"), and probably Gatlin and Misterwhite, THAT is enough to detain or even arrest you...
So I reckon the new best invention is the new craze -- the tubular Azz-Wallet ®.
They are crap. The Court tolerates a limited amount of them. Wiki covers the basics pretty well, including the all-important phrase: "Am I free to go?".
SCOTUS upheld state laws [Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada] that required people to show identity when LEOs have reasonable suspicion to believe criminal activity is/was involved in any way. It is these stop-and-identify statutes that permit LEOs to arrest criminal suspects who refuse to identify themselves. At last count almost half of the states had stop-and-identify laws. Regardless of any law, LEOs can never compel you to identify yourself without reasonable suspicion to believe you are, or have been, involved in illegal activity. Remember however that reasonable suspicion is a vague legal standard.
Why did the President ask congress to act on DACA? He must know that they can't enforce the law and deport illegal aliens, that's his job as head of the executive branch.
He's openly offering to give congress DACA amnesty in exchange for some pieces of a wall and changes in chain migration and the visa lotery. It's very clear that he has no intention of enforcing existing immigration law and deporting the DACA illegal aliens, since he hasn't done so in over a year, but has instead given them sanctuary.
DACA Shithole Dreamers - Make America Great Again?
Presidents DO NOT write laws,dummy. Congress does.
I mean that the Trump administration's policy of giving out phoney DACA visas is no different than Obama's and that they're both providing sanctuary for illegal aliens instead of enforcing existing immigration law and deporting them.
Both Obama and Trump seem to think that there DACA policy overrides existing immigration law, and the constitutional mandate to protect the States against invasion. They offer sanctuary to the invaders while ignoring the law that says that illegal aliens shall be deported.
I said ASKS congress, trumptard! Obama and Trump seem to think they do write laws however, with their phoney DACA sanctuary orders.

And they can't do anything if they only suspect that "you're about to commit a crime".
Let's see. You're walking down a residential street at 3:00 am where there has been a recent string of burglaries. You're wearing black and carrying a black canvas bag.
I would say that the police have reasonable suspicion to conduct a Terry Stop, wouldn't you?
