Well that had more to do with "Wrong place wrong time". You happen to be crossing and fell into an imperal ambush of the leader of the rebelion. It had less to do with boarder patrol and more to do with they just grouped you in with the stormcloaks. Don't forget they didn't even know who you were.

However this is easily remedied by simply having the guards comment on "I heard those warriors from Hammerfell are enlisting help to fight the Dominon [somewhere in skyrim] [followed by witty guard comment on the functionality of their knees]". Then you go there and the Alik'r bring you with them to Hammerfell. No one's going to have a cow over you being in Hammerfell if were invited there, and are in the company of Hammerfell warrior when you arrive.
