(53,061 posts)In your preedited version there was no mention of the border patrol.
Yes the border patrol has arresting authority.
Now for the spurious allegation that you were able to get a TSA employee to admit that they were "looking for (derogatory term for Hispanics", after you told them to 'fuck off'.
I don't believe that you told the officer to 'fuck off'.
I don't believe that he told you that he was "looking for (derogatory term for Hispanics".
I don't believe that the the TSA "targets Hispanics"
Googling "TSA targets hispanics" I find zero hits for 2012
but the most recent hit is for something in June of 2011 in Newark.
So you are alleging that the TSA is conducting operations to troll for Hispanics even though if they found any they would be unable to take any action because they are not LEOs (Federal Law Enforcement Officers) and do not have authority to make an arrest or detain an illegal immigrant, and that the TSA is conducting operations for Hispanics and using racial slurs even though no one else in the entire nation has seen the TSA do the same thing anywhere else.
I don't even believe that you were on the trolley.
So in addition to this enormous coincidence of you being on the only public trasportation where TSA agents are accused of brazenly admitting in public that they are going after in a trolley that was filled with Hispanics in a city where Hispanics are the largest ethnic group in front of Border Patrol agents who 60% of the time in the San Diego sector are Hispanic after you told a TSA employee who, in San Diego, is most likely to be Hispanic to go "fuck himself" he confided to you that he was really only after "derogatory term for Hispanics"?
Do you have any idea how deranged you sound?
