		 If you aren’t doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear.  Your comparison of this to Nazi germany is absurd, and it’s why trump won.

 Since when have your rights to freedom of movement been based on the requirement you need to prove  your not doing anything wrong...   but if this was a weapons check you would be singing a different tune .....   Nazi Germany became they way it was with people who think like you  and accept these actions as a good party member

 I’ve been stopped at checks for seat belts, Dui checks, registration checks, emissions checks.  I think it’s well established that these are legal and pursuint to public safety.  You sound like an antifa spokesman.

 What is your opinion? Is this Trump's fault? Or is this a government program run amok, independent of Trump? Or is it an agency doing its job?

 This is not new 
It has been happening for quite a while as it also happens on the southern border inland also. 
 
I find it wrong as a Libertarian and not a left vs right issue but you are entitled to your opinion to frame it however you choose. 
 
It is just as wrong as sobriety checks since you brought it up.  Both of these stops you should be allowed to move passed without speaking or even opening your window. 
 
There should be specific instructions given to all involved in these type of blocks and if they are not legally followed by some, they should be reprimanded accordingly.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely. 
 
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook! 
 
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order. Most children come without parents... 
 
 
its all part of his bigger plan ...  whos next once he has saved us from the invasion   Liberals , elites , the educated . his political opponents his critics ....

The Fifth Amendment stipulates some exceptions, including matters of public danger which surely arises with a massive influx of illegal aliens.  And the Amendment specifically applies to capital or otherwise infamous crimes.  It doesn't apply to misdemeanors.
 
The Fourteenth Amendment applies to born or naturalized citizens or to "any person within its jurisdiction".  Illegal aliens would be under the jurisdiction of their home country, the country to which they are citizens.  Not being under the jurisdiction of the U.S, except as illegally being here  "equal protection of the laws" would not fully apply to them.  They do not have equal access to our system.  Nor do they have superior privileges to actual citizens.  If citizens can be separated from their children when being detained, certainly illegal aliens can.

		 The Trump administration last week opened a trade investigation into vehicle imports, which could result in a 25 percent tariff on cars on the same “national security” grounds  
 
 
the Trump catch all  “national security” grounds  
 
 
Trump’s unprecedented disregard for the role of Congress is particularly evident in the administration’s trade investigations under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which grants the president broad powers to “adjust” imports to prevent threats to “national security.” 
 
But we still have the constitution  (you have to believe in it 1st  Trumps not looking like he does  unless it suites him)

 Not sure what your point is in this post.  But tinkering with the Constitution by Progressive "interpretation" of it in the way that it suits judges and politicians has been going on for a century.  In that time, the piling on of bad precedent as well as destructive novel interpretations is now beginning to bite the azz of the Progressives, as warned that it would, by giving their enemies the phony legal ammunition to do what the Constitution should prevent.  From what you've said in several previous posts, I don't understand your objection to "interpreting" in ways that suit the interpreter.

		Wayne - I am still looking forward to your answer re: What is your opinion? Is this Trump's fault? Or is this a government  program run amok, independent of Trump? Or is it an agency doing its  job?

The Fourteenth does apply most standards to illegal aliens. While they do not get all rights they do get equal protection. But you are correct, they should not get superior protection.

 I agree with your stipulation of "most" standards.  Which is why I said "'equal protection of the laws' would not  fully apply to them."
 
But are illegals "under the jurisdiction" of the U.S. government?
 
The way the Amendment is written does not say they are.  It starts "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and  subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."  Thus CITIZENS are under the jurisdiction of our State and Federal governments.  Illegal aliens are subject to the jurisdiction of the country in which they are citizens.
 
The last sentence in section 1 of the Amendment says  "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of  citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny any person  within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

 How the Amendment is written is less important than how the courts have found...in which case they have found that due process is entitled for undocumented immigrants.

 And therein lies the heart of Progressive jurisprudence.  In essence, what the Constitution says is irrelevant.  What the Judges say is what counts.  Spence, why would you be concerned, as you've implied, about how long the Constitution exists?  For you it's the Judges that matter.  There doesn't seem to be any danger of the Judges disappearing.  Quite the contrary, they are stronger and more important than ever.  Long live the Judges.  Who needs the Constitution?

 Common sense would dictate that Judges should interpret and apply the law as it is written, not as they choose.
