1. "Sensitive law enforcement information." Uh-huh.

2. BIZARRE

I've been to Canada. Getting into Canada is easy, it is returning to the US where you need a Real ID such as airlines now pretty much insist you have. It is obvious that they are looking for undocumented aliens trying to escape into Canada.

8. I think a

passport works just as well now.

3. I've NEVER seen an EXIT inspection before. WTF.

Not surprised at all that CPB is lying about why. Par for the course in MFer's America.

4. They're salivating...

To do this at state borders.

[DENVERPOPS]

5. Anyone have any idea

What asshole ordered this......and secret reasons WHY they would do it???????

6. So can CBP just set up a station anywhere

that they feel Americans need protecting? How about on the New York Pennsylvania border? How about the Philadelphia city limits? Is it just limited to 100 miles from the border or coast? Surely we should be protected from incoming socialists at airports as well. How about a 100 mile radius of every international airport? What about Reservations? Don't criminals launder money at casinos? How about state borders? Aren't red state governors concerned about Democratic infiltration?

9. Federal statute limits CBP warrantless stops to within 100 miles of the border

11. I wish that I shared your optimism that

the current administration had any intention of abiding by federal statutes with which they disagree.

[Ponietz]

12. No optimism here

Just what the law says.

10. Discourage Americans from leaving the U.S.? Or maybe trying to catch Canadians leaving U.S. going back to Canada to

detain them while in the U.S. and then charging them with U.S. crime? I would guess this.

13. Having never crossed the Canadian: US border

Can someone explain how it used to be and what has changed, and by which side? I'm confused.
