Re: Send the Coast Guard up the Rio Grande!
>> "... the Constitution is suspended at the borders..." Yeah, an old law (1953). https://www.aclu.org/other/constitution-100-mile-border-zone Sometimes, they take extra measures: https://blog.simplejustice.us/2013/12/20/a-new-low-vaginal-probes-at-the-border/ https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150516/12473831030/border-patrol-agents-tase-woman-refusing-to-cooperate-with-their-bogus-search.shtml There's more, but you know, stuff happens. |

“the Constitution is suspended at the borders”
Most of my professional life had me up close and personal with US Customs/Customs & Border Protection, and as one of their senior operatives explained it to me way back in the XX century (when our civil liberties had not yet endured the evisceration they have since undergone), “you never have fewer rights than you do coming into the country.” This was, I repeat, in the nineties. cordially, |
