While thousands of undocumented immigrants are allowed to pass through our borders illegally, then given bus passes and airline tickets to scatter throughout the United States and eventually disappear, American citizens possessing valid U.S. passports are being harassed at border checkpoints in locations up to 100 miles from any international border.
Fox News host John Stossel revealed this fact in a disturbing video called, “Constitution Free Zones,” which should have most Americans seeing red. It was one segment of his Saturday presentation that asked the question, “Where’s the line between security and liberty?” according to Fox News.

UPDATE
The Border Patrol draws a weapon on the Boy Scouts
Let me see if I understand the Obama Policy: if you are an American, you can be harassed and searched within a hundred miles from the border, but if you are an illegal alien, you have protected status.
I want the old America back.
This is an eye-opener! It is frightening to see how easily these agents are turning on the citizens of America. This cannot have a good ending.
I have yet to understand why the “people” get mad about this? It is the “people” who allow it, tolerate it, and abide by their unconstitutional operations.
Our forefathers did not argue with the British, they did not protest about the way they were treated by the British, they did not petition the British for their rights, they stood up, armed themselves, and SHOT THEM!!
Everyone can point fingers and blame every celebrity politician and every celebrity president for why things are the way they are. But, the FACT remains that Freedom is not free, nor is it promised to anyone!!
Freedom must be FOUGHT for and PROTECTED with the blood of tyrants and patriots alike, or you can rest assured as the sun will rise tomorrow that they will TAKE THAT FREEDOM AWAY the minute you stop fighting for it!!
Since, today, the nation refuses to stand up and arm themselves to defend the nation from the very people who are destroying it right in front of your face, it is a certainty that the nation will be destroyed.
The saddest part of all? Is that the nation has been captured, conquered and taken over without the enemy even having to fire one bullet.
Silly question.
Because they can, of course.
The Tyrant has told them to hassle U S citizens. This will gain him votes from the lo-fo voters, who believe that U S citizens are racist and need to be punished.
And illegal immigrants have protected status, since they are the new permanent Democratic majority.
That is why they can fly without ID.
The same sort of thing happens to whites who venture into minority neighborhoods. They’re often stopped to be questioned about and/or searched for drugs while the well known minority drug dealers remain free to go about their “business”.
Similar nonsense goes on whenever the police arrest and charge drug buyers in and around known drug dealing houses. The drug users get the shaft while the drug dealing house gets a free pass so that it can continue to give the police something to do.
So Ranger, just to be clear…are you suggesting that the serviceman in the video should have just opened fire on the Border Patrol agents? I understand the frustration with Americans going along when their rights are violated, but I think in this case, the man was doing everything he could short of firing shots.
With that said, I was never so angry as when they announced that all Americans would be searched by TSA agents before boarding flights and Americans succumbed and allowed it to happen. If we had just refused to fly for one month, we would not be subjected to violations of our rights every time we get on a plane today. Now, its business as usual. Just witness what the populace allowed after the “Boston Marathon Bombing”. I thought I was watching the Germans in World War ll the way the ordered people out of their homes and searched them. I am afraid I would have been a dead patriot before I put up with that crap.
The need is to stop talking and venting, and get serious. Conservatives are far too calm and complacent today. Citizens need to get involved with their local Republican parties from the lowest to state level. The same goes for Democrats who do not like the far-left lurch the party has taken. That is the only way to take control of the party away from the local to state level power elite, and then they will be able to take on the National leadership. If you are not willing to take action and make a stand within your party to take the reigns back, you will never reform it, and you might as well be p*ssing into the wind.
Those small-business moderates and conservatives who are Chamber of Commerce Members, must run against their current leadership and take over control of their local organizations also.
In most cases it is a relative small minority of power junkies who have taken over these organizations and on to the nation as a whole via the power of their positions.
This is the only peaceful way to restore the US and stop the fascist progressive machine. Through taking back local and state governments, Chamber of Commerce and all other public organizations that lobby the government. We must also vocally and with our wallets, demonstrate our disgust with all businesses that are supporting the transformation of our nation, by boycotting their goods and services.
Otherwise, it can only be through bullets and blood that they may be fought, and with their control of the military, cyber-espionage and militarization of nearly all government agencies, this will result in a very unbalanced and costly uncivil war, where all those loyal to the Constitution will be branded terrorists by the MSM and Washington DC Elite. Honestly, unless the Pentagon and local law enforcement balks. I doubt any possibility of success by insurrection by The People. The government has been allowed to become far too powerful and intrusive.
