Of course as a practical matter anyone crossing a U.S. border should understand the risk of arbitrary violence, deportation, detention, or having all your stuff taken.

Honestly illegal border crossers are the only ones who maintain their constitutional rights, because once they've crossed it is impossible to prove it unless someone actually saw them do it. I've read border patrol officers comment that if a US citizen is found at the border there's basically not much they can do unless someone caught them crossing in the act.
By the way, if you haven't seen it, you might like this old favorite of mine: "Born in East L.A." with Cheech and Chong, parodying Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A.": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFUFw1GH6ic. I was going to it's funny but in light of this discussion, maybe not. Not as funny, anyway.
Thanks for sharing.
That was great, thank you!
