The location of the Sarita, Texas, checkpoint is incorrect. The coordinates 27°17′22.17″N 97°48′35.55″W, "5 miles north of Sarita," indicate a truck weigh station in Riviera, Texas, operated by the Texas Department of Public Safety (the "highway patrol"). The location of the United States Border Patrol checkpoint is 14 miles south of Sarita, at 27°0'58"N 97°47'39"W (to the nearest second). You can use Google Maps Street View to view these two exact locations and clearly see that the Border Patrol checkpoint is the one south of Sarita.
While the person who listed the location of the Alamagordo Checkpoint claims it to be in El Paso, the only truth is that the checkpoint is accessed from El Paso via a state border crossing into New Mexico on US 54. I have corrected the entry to reflect the true location, including the actual state where it resides. Rapierman ( talk) 22:54, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
I know there is one near Wichita, KS. This is over 400 miles from Mexican border, I wonder if it has any authority at all? Yes it is a permanernt checkpoint. A building and all.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.162.93.21 ( talk • contribs)
This has a dead source and appears inaccurate with regards to the actual legal precedent. Should be deleted until properly sourced and vetted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.234.66.209 ( talk) 21:49, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
A section describing the history of these checkpoints would be very interesting. -- Beland ( talk) 18:08, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
