Fairly certain that they shouldn't be doing that without a warrant. Even foreign nationals should have their privacy rights protected.

"A U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer's border search authority is derived from federal statutes and regulations, including 19 C.F.R. 162.6, which states that, "All persons, baggage and merchandise arriving in the Customs territory of the United States from places outside thereof are liable to inspection by a CBP officer." Unless exempt by diplomatic status, all persons entering the United States, including U.S. citizens, are subject to examination and search by CBP officers."

The joint statement of former presidential candidates John McCain & Lindsey Graham is wrong - they are sadly weak on immigration. The two...

...Senators should focus their energies on ISIS, illegal immigration and border security instead of always looking to start World War III.

Trump released a statement:

What a hallow fucking statement that is. This is our President. PRESIDENT. The fact he is our president and he is saying more or less 'I'm sorry....but not really. What I say goes' is appealing.

Pinning the blame on Obama is even more sickening.

I predict there is going to be a "terrorist attack" in the coming weeks or months.

Trump will then use this "attack" to prove that he was right all along and his supporters will use it as evidence to support their extreme beliefs.

Something similar occurred during the rise of the Nazi regime and the aftermath resulted in the press being gagged and protests being banned.

I highly doubt this. Reichstag fires and false-flag operations are notable because they're so rare. If engineering terrorist attacks for political reasons was something people were interested in doing, you really telling me that no one bothered during Bush's term? (inb4 "9/11")

Also worth pointing out there's no definitive evidence the Nazis started the fire either. They just knew how to make political hay out of it. So in that sense, we've already seen that situation play out (the fallout from 9/11 and the Patriot Act, the invasion of Iraq.)

Fact is we and everyone else in the western world don't really need help from conservative agents. Radical islam is happy to donate a dumbass guy to the cause.

Notice how he calls them former presidential candidates and not by their proper Senator titles.

Yeah, that's all he thinks they are. Losers. And he assumes that's all everyone else think about them too.

What in the ever loving mother fuck is he talking about starting WW3 when it comes to immigration.

It's completely unrelated, but Trump will never forgive them for criticising him on his views on Russia.

The social media account/phone searches seem pretty normal. There's some Border Patrol show in Netflix at the moment and CBP officers normally search through people's phones including their texts, photos, social media, etc.

It's not normal in the slightest. At least not if you're white.

Fairly certain that they shouldn't be doing that without a warrant. Even foreign nationals should have their privacy rights protected.

It is legal to search possessions, but it is not normal to search a phone or computer unless a crime is suspected.
