A California teacher was detained after she refused to say if she was a U.S. citizen at a checkpoint in New Mexico about 35 miles from the border. The video has many wondering if she was within her rights or had an obligation to comply. Mireya Villarreal reports.

  1. But a whole hour of detention?
    I have not been trained or am a border patrol agent,but i can tell the
    difference between a citizen and an
    illegal. The way they dress or command of language,eiher one.
    English is broken but they have
    Command of Spanish.

  2. One of the reasons things are so out of control at our Southern Border is because no rules are enforced. Pretty much everybody does exactly what they want to do. If Border Patrol cannot ascertain whether you have a right to be here or not they will just let everyone come and go as they please which is exactly what is happening right now!

  3. The news is a joke. This is bought and paid for propaganda machines. I am sorry if you subscribe to this. America has fallen. This is a page out off the paly book of 1930's and early 1940's Germany. Do your homework while you still can or are allowed access to information. They are taking it away.

  4. She had an ABSOLUTE right to refuse to answer ANY AND ALL questions.
    Answer me this: if that border patrol monkey asks me if I am a u s citizen and I lie and say that I am, how can he tell? He CAN’T!!
    These border patrol monkeys are NOT polite! Search the internet, you will find mani videos where they illegally stop people and treat them like dirt. They are high on the power given them.

  5. TATAL TELL! WHAT A SYMPATHIZERS! BORDER PATROL MUST DO THEIR JOB.
    BUT WHY GET MAD OR UPSET! IF HISPANICS DON'T KNOW THAT THINGS ARE GETTING HARDER AT THE BORDER CROSS OR AT CHECK POINTS. THAT MEANS THEY ARE LIVING UNDER A ROCK.
    BECAUSE OF THE WAY WAY, OTHER HISPANICS ARE ENTERING(MOST OF THE BROWN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE STOPPED!) THE SAYING GOES ALL OF THE TIME. POR UNONOS SUFFERN OTROS! THAT MEANS NOW THAT ALOT OF BROWN AND BLACK PEOPLE ARE CROSSING THE BORDER ILLEGALLY, OF COURSE THEY ARE ( BORDER PATROL)) ARE GOING TO BE MORE ATTENTIVE. DANG IF THEY DO AND DANG IF THEY DON'T. AND THE WHITE WOMAN WAS BEING DIFFICULT! BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO BE TREATED LIKE A BROWN OR BLACK PERSON.
    BUT THEY( BORDER PATROL) ARE THERE TO ASK A COUPE OF QUESTIONS. IF U ANSWER U GOT NO PROBLEM, U GO ON YOUR WAY. ANY DON'T U THINK THEY GOT YOUR LICENSE PLATES WRITTEN DOWN? YES THEY DO! AND SINCE THE WHITE TEACHER WAS DIFFICULT, THEY ASK MORE QUESTIONS. ANY IF THE U.S.A. ARE LETTING UKRAINES COME TO THE U.S.A ILLEGALLY, THEN IF READ READ THE WORLD NEWS OR HEAR THEM IN THE NEWS, U , A WHITE WOMAN WEREN'T BEEN QUESTION TO DETAINED U. U WERE BEING QUESTION BECAUSE U WERE ACTING GUILTY OF SOMETHING! CASE CLOSED. WE ALL KNOW THE HISPANICS AMERICANS KNOW WHY WE ARE QUESTIONED!
    BECAUSE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING AT THE BORDER. THE BORDER PATROLS , WERE NOT BORN YESTERDAY. THEY KNOW THEIR JOBS. AND THEY ARE NOT FOOLS ETHEIR! BUT HOW CAN THEY ARGUE, THE PRESIDENT? IF HE WANTS ILLEGALS TO CROSS BY SWIMMING THROUGH THE RIVER, THEN THEY LET THEM! BUT DANG NOT WITH A CAR REGISTRARED TO AN AMERICAN CITIZENS. NOW THAT WOULD BE A DOUBLE INSULT!!!!!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

  6. Yet the borders are basically open, I'm from a border town in Texas , go check for yourselves, go to Brownsville Texas you will see multiple white buses every every night full of immigrants or try get a hotel they're packed w immigrants, just look around your major hwys & hotels you'll see this white buses & it all started w sleepy Joe, so what's the point w them wasting our time when the trafficers are those guys there forcing you to stop, the iorny, how re to take them serious like this?

  7. Freedom is under attack. It's under attack in every country in the world. It's in grave danger of being lost unless we defend it.The alternative to freedom is a nightmare, a prison, of the mind. That alternative is tyranny. All tyranny is based on a lie. The greater the tyranny, the bigger the lie. Disagree with the tyrant cop and you risk imprisonment, torture and death. Yet that is what we must do, all of us. We must protect our right to speak the truth. The war in the Ukraine is an absurdity, based upon a lie. If we swallow that lie, the lie will eat us. The lie is terrified of the truth. We must not lose this battle".

    If you haven't realised it yet, we are currently witnessing the loss of freedom as we know it.

    Humanity is literally welcoming tyranny as it rolls out to every corner of the world.

    Most people are too gutless to do anything about it and then pretend everything is okay.

    If you keep pretending nothing is happening then humanity is in for some seriously rough times ahead ! 😎THE CAMERA IS AN ACCURATE RECORD OF STATEMENTS AND ACTIONS. THATS WHY THEY DONT LIKE IT. IT TAKES AWAY POWERS THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD 🇺🇸ALWAYS FILM THE POLICE, THEY FILM US!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸!ITS OUR DUTY AS CITIZENS TO KEEP OUR GOVERMENT ACCOUNTABLE, JUST LIKE THEY DO TO US!

    If Police are not governed properly by the laws of their country, but by a law made for them only ; This may in time make them look upon themselves as a body of men different from the rest of the people and as they and they alone have the sword in their hand they may sooner or later begin to look upon themselves as the lords and not the servants of the people! We don't instigate, we investigate, and if you violate our rights, we litigate"!!! police know cameras can put the knee on the necks of their careers.!!There is no bad situation that a cop can't make worse, They dress them up just so you won't dress them down, Proactively policing communities for victimless crimes isn't heroism, it's terrorism. Anytime cops want to See our footage we need to make them fill out a foia request , pay the$40.00 and wait the 10 days if we don't deny their request.! Authority without oversight breeds lawlessness!!! God bless the USA!

  8. White people want to put everything they do online. Especially white women. And for her information the teaching profession isn’t as highly regarded as it was in the 80s and 90s, In fact majority of them in Texas are just teaching to test and just earning a check. That’s my opinion.

  9. Working this job be done in Las Vegas with facial recognition cameras, and a New York City bridges with license plate readers but not on the border?

  10. The border patrol has a job to do and if people start doing what this lady is doing then they are going to have to start asking proof of citizenship from everybody. With what Biden has done to our country letting in all these criminals I believe crossing any checkpoints citizenship should be proven and all noncitizens without a green card should be detained and deported

  11. "he's just doing his job, what's he supposed to do?" Not my problem. He can ask questions, I don't have to answer. Maybe he should resign and get a job that's less complicated.
