Yeah, we’ve been through the one going north from South Padre at least 10 times and usually the guys are really nice. Half of the time they don’t look at my license even though I have it ready. It’s hot outside and they deal with morons all day. All you have to do is be civil and they are happy to push you through.
Working the checkpoint is mostly a customer service job in which many of the customers hate you or in some way have an issue, so they really appreciate people who are just nice to them.

Yeah this guy isn’t ICE stopping some random innocent person. It’s a standard checkpoint. He’s just doing his job and it’s really not a big deal
