Other countries don't have the Bill of Rights, and specifically the 4th Amendment. It's requirement for probable cause and warrants for searches and seizures would seem to bar such "random" searches of people simple traveling from place to place within the country and not crossing a border.
However, as oladub points out, this outrageous expansion of ICE and Border Patrol power to conduct such checks is a creature of our post-2001 panic and trashing of much of the Bill of Rights. So, although the frequency and intrusiveness of such actions has reportedly increased significantly in the past year, you can't blame President Donny McRacist for the laws and policies that allows them.
