Are immigration officers allowed to search and read everything you have?

Sammy was crossing at the us and mexican border to visit on a b1/b2 visa. Had no idea it would so much trouble when she visit very easily at the airport. The woman search everything and read everything and then cancelled her visa. The immigration officer had no idea what she was doing and was asking everyone for help. The other immigration officers did not agree to what she was doing and still allowed Sammy to go across.
Thanks Fred S.
This happen a couple years ago but she now have permanent residency, but encourages visitors to fly.

    Only with reasonable doubt. They can’t just start frisking for no reason.

    The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is permitted to search travelers and their belongings at the American border without probable cause or a warrant. These searches are exempted from the Fourth Amendment warrant requirement. Pursuant to this authority, CBP may generally stop and search the property of any traveler entering or exiting the United States at random, or even based largely on ethnic profiles.

    However, CBP may only conduct searches of the traveler’s body — including strip, body cavity, involuntary x-ray, and in some jurisdictions, pat-down searches — if the Customs officer has reasonable suspicion to believe the traveler is concealing contraband.

    The Supreme Court has ruled over and over again that the power of search at ports of entry is unlimited.

    EDIT: It appears that the "other immigration officers" who let Sammy in were wrong.

    It used to be that the immigration had to have reasonable cause – NOT any more though

    Now they can search anyone at all for NO reason at all – this is called MAJOR INVASION of privacy

    Treating EVERYONE like a TERRORIST – they assume that everyone visiting is a terrorist first and is only innocent after they have proved that the person is not a terrorist.

    sammy needs to STAY AWAY from the USA
