I live on the Texas-Mexico border. There are checkpoints on every road headed north. Anywhere from 25 to 50 miles from the border. The agents are mostly hispanic because that is all there is in the area. The area of the Rio Grande Valley of Texas is 98% hispanic. Many people only speak spanish. Not to say I have anything against it, I am hispanic myself.
The reason this seems odd is not because this has anything to do with what the police can or can not do to you. The truth is that these inmigration checkpoints are technically inconstitutional. That is the one thing the guy on the video is fighting about. Had this been an argument with state trooper instead of an inmigration officer, he would have not gotten away with it.
Sad to say, but if the guy driving was a hispanic, he would not have gotten away with it either. It is also true that we hispanics get more discrimination from those of our same etnicity.
Funny story, since we are at it. Because many in the RGV are no legal residents (I would say 50% of those who attend KH in the area), they are no able to travel north to Houston or places like that. This summer we had a string of both, international and regular conventions going on in Houston and other cities. Many from my area were not able to attend. Had they attempted to do so, they would have been deported (every car gets checked). Despite having recently built a 5 million dollar assembly hall in the area, no assemblies were brought to the area. The assembly hall sat empty the entire summer. The "undocumented" brothers had no assembly, despite being such a significant year for JWs
What happened? Did the F&D slave forgot about thousands of fellow slaves? or were they not financially significant?
