What you have in this picture is one of the many check points that can be found when you are in America and get near the border to Mexico. I’m assuming that the main issues that the people who man these check points care about are illegal aliens and drugs. Personally, such things as interrogations and possible searches make me nervous, even if I have nothing to hide. There are also the ever-present people sitting in white SUVs that say “Border Patrol” on the side. These are everywhere. I have some conflicting emotions about people who are trying to find a better life. I want them to succedd but I want them to do it legally. I also have some conflicting emotions about a government that makes the presence of law enforcement personnel so visible. I’m not much on government intimidation of the populace. I understand these people have a job to do. I’m just not sure that they always do it in an appropriate manner.
