So I got a lot of backlash from my post.
What I gather from it is this--border patrol isn't allowed to patrol the border because it violates constitutional rights.
Umm..pretty sure police are allowed to detain anyone at anytime. Good luck telling them otherwise.
California woman had to get out her google translator to tell the Spanish speaking passengers.
So did the patrol have probable cause to detain the bus? I'm sure they did.

Is there any else left who still wants the laws about illegal immigration enforced. I think the plan is to round up a couple illegals every so often to make it look as though the laws are enforced. Business loves the flood.

Why not raid businesses and arrest the owners that are hiring illegal labor? Oh, thats right ,$$$$$$$$$$
Nope. Instead we rush towards being a police state.
No its because business's will be only fines until congress increases penalties. Currently First offenders can be fined $250-$2,000 per illegal employee.
For a second offense, the fine is $2,000-$5,000 per illegal employee.
Three or more offenses can cost an employer $3000-$10,000 per illegal employee.
So guess what its cheaper for busineases to pay fines if caught. And with the number of agents used in raids unless they have a large amount of illegals its not worth it.

Has the story been verified?
(Just responding to you cause there is no reply tab at the top)
I actually have a solution for this. Put up a 100,000 dollar bounty paid to anyone regardless of legal status, that reports an employer hiring illegals. The state fines the employer that as a minimum, plus 2k for each illegal.

So because there were Spanish speaking passengers on the bus then it should be allowed to be searched? That will be good for tourism in the US.

“This is a violation of your 4th amendment rights. You don’t have to show them *s- -t*!!! This is illegal,” she said, according to her Facebook post.
ICE has been terrorizing Hispanic and Latino communities for years but, to me, it seems they've ramped up their "enforcement". Between detaining legal residents and American citizens until they can determine their status to pulling over buses full of people to do 'random' checks.
Good!
Sorry, but illegal search and seizure doesn't apply to friggin' ILLEGAL NON-CITIZENS!!!!!
