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.

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.
