The Border Patrol has essentially created a Constitution-Free ONE HUNDRED MILE BUFFER around the border of the United States.
Think about this for a minute.
Mexico. Canada. New York City. Heck, the entire state of New York. Most of California's population. Nine of the ten most populous cities in the country, excluding Dallas/Fort Worth, are in this zone. Two-thirds of the country's population is in this zone.
And in it, the Border Patrol can stop you with no suspicion of wrong-doing.
Not good.
