From the DPS link:

*It should be noted that in 1976, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Federal checkpoints near border areas to enforce laws prohibiting illegal immigration. This U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint along Interstate 8 is in compliance with federal law.*

Good point, but why stop there?

*It should be noted that in 1859, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Fugitive Slave Act to enforce laws regarding the repatriation of fugitive slaves. This U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint along Interstate 8 is in compliance with federal law.*
