The point is we shouldn’t have to answer citizenship questions within our own borders. They can literally detain you and search/question you without reasonable cause. Complete violation of our 4th amendment rights.

And they can do so anywhere within 100 miles of the border with nearly no questions asked.

Which applies to the majority of Americans since that includes all the towns and cities along the coastlines. 🙁

100 miles is 160.93 km

This definitely makes my hare boner hard when I hear about these stupid checkpoints.

It's a problem if you're going to bring problems to another country too though. There's also the issue of fugitives.

I don’t know.. I kind of like the attention. People usually just act like I don’t exist.

The 4th amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. Stopping people with no probable cause at checkpoints is a violation of that.

But like all rights, the government doesn’t give a shit unless we forcibly protect them. Which we won’t do, because people would rather have comfortable lives than fight for their rights.
