Story to tell — this crap doesn’t only happen in AZ:
I was driving from AZ to CA, and I took the scenic route to San Diego about 2 years ago. I’m pretty much straight-up white, but I was pulled over by Border Pigs twice.
As you can see from the above quote, you labelled each set of Border Patrol Agents as Border Pigs even though you thought the first detention was handled well. It wasn’t the personal questions that brought the swine reference you tried to spin.
Border Patrol Agents are allowed to look for other violations of the law while you are at the checkpoint. As you must know, you drove within a 1/4 mile of the border in those locations and those roads are commonly used to leave the area by smugglers.
Agents can ask questions and you are free not to answer. It just might take a little longer to do their job. While you are waiting, they are still getting paid. I can assure you that your protest is no skin off any agents back. Feel free to continue, but do not think you are making anyone’s life unpleasant except your own.
