It’s 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. It’s 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. “It’s a traditional enforcement tactic,” Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies, told Fox News. “It’s 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. It’s a deterrent. It’s 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, we’re seeing a return to this under the Trump administration. This is good law enforcement that is legitimate and effective. It’s 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.

Which means that entire states are now constitution-free zones. But of course, Parsons doesn't see the problem here.
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.
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. American citizens have constitutional rights - unless they live in the 100-mile zone. That means entire states in many cases. My point is that Americans are being subjected to warrantless searches simply because they live in this 100-mile zone. I agree that illegals do not have constitutional protections.
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.
No one has claimed that any have been.
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?
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.
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.
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.
As long as there is no cause for reasonable suspicion that you're about to commit a crime.
If they have reasonable cause to suspect you are committing a crime, they don't need to talk or ask for ID. 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?
I would say that the police have reasonable suspicion to conduct a Terry Stop, wouldn't you? I'm not sure. Am I a black man or not? No, I don't think that alone is enough for probable cause. Maybe GrandIsland can tell us. NY state has had a lot of cases with high-profile legal talent.
Also, at that hour, in a neighborhood where it's odd to see someone walking, it's even ok to briefly stop and talk to the person to see if they are all right, lost or in need of any assistance. From that brief encounter, you can judge suspicion further, based on their answer. You also have to take in consideration, that if the officers patrol that area often, maybe even LIVE in that area, they can judge suspicion where the average LF poster might not see it. That's what I've always said about the "cop" debates. SO MUCH WE DON'T KNOW... and some of these articles are poorly written on purpose.
That's because they're clickbait. The clickbaitier they are, the more they build the publisher's brand, the more likely they can make ad money or live off Patreon or monetize some YouTube vids. Good points on practical policing.

I once stopped to talk to a fellow, one morning, walking between the fog line and the ditch of a state road. Was a little odd to see someone walking. Once I started to talk to him, it appeared as though he was intoxicated. I automatically assumed he had a vehicle in a ditch somewhere, down the road, behind him. He was slurring his words and made no sense to my questions. I could not smell alcoholic beverage on his breath. I then began to assume high on drugs. He was so disoriented, I transported him the the local hospital, asked for a back up car to respond to the area and locate a possible car. Once at the hospital, I was advised that he had a stroke. The back story was later found out, he had a domestic with his woman that morning, at her house. Walked away from the house, down the road. Suffered a stroke while walking. Then I came along.
