When I traveled by Greyhound from East Texas to California in the late 1980s there was a stop in the desert somewhere (not in Texas) where passengers were asked to provide ID or state that they were in the country legally. It is nothing new.
And what was more offensive was passing into California and being told that all produce had to be thrown out before we could pass. Nice way to protect your produce industry from imported goods. How queer that same industry imports and supports illegal labor.
Yes. I was traveling on a Greyhound from Phoenix to Philly in 1979. The bus was stopped along the highway in New Mexico and three Border Patrol Agents boarded and looked everyone over and pulled one person off.

Actually that is to protect crops that they grow in California from pest that may be on the fruit from other states. Overall not a bad thing.
I remember that police stopped a Greyhound bus I was riding on in the 70’s, it was somewhere in the Southwest (I was traveling to California) and escorted three Mexican-looking young men off the bus. The officers did not ask anyone else (the Anglos) for ID.
