Imagine if they were anybody else.

America is gone, so what say we focus on the nukes the dictator in the WH has.

I shared because it was so appalling!

I travel a lot in the summer...and I am a lot darker in the summer months than winter. This is going to be interesting. I guess they could send me back to the reservation?

Needing very much to get the Republicans and Flaccid #45 out of any place of power. We need to destroy them so bad they couldn't win a race for dog catcher!

5. This Video Was Uploaded to YouTube in 2013

But I didn't see what year(s) the clips were made or where. It seems that this has been going on for quite a while.

It doesn't seem that these checkpoints were at the border with Mexico. Unless they are half a mile away from the border, why would there be a checkpoint at all?

Thanks for telling me! This has been going for a while, I should have known it wasn't recent, as the 'Border Patrol' aren't all white.

Power Tripping is what we used to call this bullshit. Polite refusal of intimidation is beautiful. Stand up for your rights. Never give in to this unAmerican bullshit. This is exactly how to handle idiots. Thank you for sharing this!
