After my post I did a little online searching. It appears the Supreme Court has held the stop and searches to be legal at the "permanent" checkpoints but not at "roving patrols". Since the case in question did not center on refusing to answer the citizenship question, I could not find a definitive SCOTUS statement on that. It appears an agent can subject you to minimal questioning to satisfy himself that there are no illegal aliens in the vehicle. You just smiling or offering to spend 10 minutes reading the Bible to him could satisfy him as several videos posted online indicate. There is also the quandary of "not incriminating yourself" along with "right to remain silent" that would seem to contradict the agent's questioning you.
Considering that a number of US citizens have been tried and convicted (and spent time in jail) by local juries for not answering the questions , I'd not want to put my fate in the hands of people who may be sick of illegals running around their town and decide to send a message.
