    They're all over the South West since most undocumented people come from Mex. Just another PITA to deal with. BTW, they look for drugs too, not just people.

    Homeland Security can set up a check point on any road within 100 miles of the border with Mexico or Canada. Lots of those checkpoints if you are traveling from say Laredo to San Diego, because much of the route is within 100 miles of the Mexico border. Usually it's just a quick, "Are you a US citizen?" and you are on your way. Some also have dogs sniffing the trailer. No big deal unless you have something to hide or are pulling an empty and forgot to check it at the last stop to make sure nobody decided to hitch a ride.

    All of your posts have been about where these Checkpoints are. Does it matter? If you have nothing to hide its just slow down say yes I'm a citizen and your on your way. You trying to hide something?
