The Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is supposed to protects Americans from random and arbitrary stops and searches which is why these agents are powerless against those who know the law.

Most illegals enter the US thru rural areas away from immigration checkpoints. After a few miles they get picked up and brought north. The cheapest and easiest way to catch them is on the roads inland. Otherwise anyone can just walk in and keep going.
The further north you would go the least effective, obviously. The rest of your post I covered by stating that inland isn't acceptable. Nor would it be effective. Right now a dozen Immigration officials on the boarder between checkpoints isn't near as effective as having them inland on main roads.
What's the alternative?
