I don't know what happens in other states with international
borders, but here in San Diego County, the U.S. Border Patrol
maintains fixed location checkpoints about 50 miles north of
the US/Mexican border. Being of the libertarian persuasion,
I find these internal checkpoints to be an affront to the
U.S. Constitution and a serious infringement of the right
to freely travel within the borders of our country. I feel
the same about local police checkpoints and, to some degree,
state borderline checkpoints. I do, however, give some slack
to agricultural inspection stations when checking for pests
that could (and have) wrecked economic havoc on agricultural
concerns in my state or any other state.
