"Am I Being Detained?"

This guy is a idiot. With no proof that this person is a US citizen in hand, there is only one answer. "yes sir, I am detaining you while we verify your citizenship, and ask you some questions". Once he answered the questions the border patrolman is asking such as: are you a US citizen? do you have valid Identification/passport/greencard? are you carrying any illegal substances for the state you are entering? there is no way the person should be allowed to pass, no matter how stubborn they are being or how much film they use or how many times they ask for your name/badge number.
He asks your name/badge number you give it to him, you give it.
He refuses to answer simple questions about his identification or purpose for crossing the border or contents of his vehicle you stop the person and search their vehicle and verify identification.
So the correct answer is "yes i am detaining you Mr. Smartass, welcome to the U.S. of A."
Crossing a U.S. border is not a given. Being stubborn is not a passport. Intimidating a border patrol official is unacceptable.
