One thing Americans don't suffer and I don't think they even have idea about is the Border Patrol's behavior when dealing with immigrants, legal and illegal ones.
I won't talk in general, but what I suffered.
Last occasion, before crossing the border to make business with salvia extract, I had to go to the border office to ask for a form I-94, a person that looked Asian interviewed me, but he barely talked Spanish. I couldn't understand what he was asking for, it was a proof of address, until finally, I got it, and I gave it to him, the issue was that every time he asked for the same thing, he got meaner and louder, after I gave him the proof of address, he was asking for my destination, same thing than before, I couldn't get what he said at first, and he got angrier, and on and on, I barely got my form without a good explanation, my only problem was that I didn't understand what he tried to say.
Later the same day, I was traveling to Long Beach, a Border Patrol agent stopped the bus right after San Diego, and the officer, with a unusual behavior, he started asking everybody for our ID's. A passenger had his ID proving the he was born in the US, but the agent was wondering why he didn't speak English (of course in English), loudly and several times, after a long discussion he finally let him continue the trip with us. Finally this officer stomp over the Van's side proving his discontent because he didn't catch or scared anyone.
I'd like to know your opinion about this, but I think that's not the way of treating people, specially those who really care about American laws and obey them by getting our Visa and necessary permits to enter to this great country. Because of this, I wouldn't like to know how illegal aliens are treated, but that's another story.
Wish you a good day.
