I spent a lot of time in Corpus Christi between 2012 and 2015 and made several trips down to Brownsville while I was there. I had to pass through this place every time. It's about 100 miles from the border.

Checking if people are citizens near the border? That's their job isn't it? They asked her a simple question, she refused to answer it, and her time got wasted because of that. And she wasn't arrested for posting it on Facebook. It's hardly Orwellian.

Which part was harassing and which enforcement of a law on the books?

Yep, she had the right to stay silent in protest. With that right came the detainment until verification.

When I'm driving and get pulled over I have the right not to show my driver license, insurance and registration in protest. I'm positive the the enforcement entity will detain me until they can verify. Yet I'm a free citizen. Is this scenario harassment?

Accept they did not break the law

Plus there is such a thing as probable cause, and warrants and last time I checked neither the language you speak or your skin tone constitute justification of those by themselves. Otherwise we need to start profiling all white people because some murder abortion doctors and shoot up theaters.

Yea well ratio wise, black and brown people get pulled over at a far higher rate and it is not because they are committing a higher ratio of crime per capita. They are not.

Let's not forget that nearly all of these checkpoints are on our southern border. I suppose illegal Canadians are OK? I wonder why that might be.

Canadians aren't fleeing Canada? Probably a small amount but not in the same amounts as Mexico. Very few people want to flee Canada since it's a decent country to live in.

OK Brian, tell me about probable cause, and warrants at a border patrol checkpoint? What are the laws/conditions? I'll bet the only "cause" is that you are crossing a checkpoint and no warrants are required. 

Did you watch the vid, she appears to be white, some of the agents do not. This is not an issue of race (goal post mover) but the requirements to pass thru a checkpoint. That's your chronic victim thinking coming thru. 

She chose to drive thru the checkpoint, my guess is she knew the requirements. She was shown the requirements (in the vid). Could she have driven another way and avoided the checkpoint, maybe. 

Or is this white privilege rearing it's ugly head? Definite maybe. I didn't see her taking a stand about the other people being stopped and questioned at the same time as her. Wonder why that was?

It is because they are plaid. Nobody hates plaid people.
