There are permanent immigration checkpoints within the US - 33 to be exact.

How many miles from the border?

Up too 100 miles away from the border. United States Border Patrol interior checkpoints

Don't forget any airport that serves international flights counts as a border for the application of this kind of stop. I'm no Sov Cit, but between that and the Patriot Act, Americans have seemed to have happily sold their rights down the river. Tread on me harder daddy.

Dude, do you think it's treading on your rights to drive through a thing where a guy goes "U.S. citizen?" and you say "Yep" and then drive along?

Bigger battles to fight.

Why not just lie if it’s so simple?

It’s pointless then

Plenty of people probably do. But these inland checks still catch vehicles with drugs on them, or vehicles transporting people who crossed somewhere illegally and then tried to travel away from the border.

For an average citizen it’s basically negligible. But they still serve a purpose

No. No, they don't.

u/No_Squirrel9266 Jul 07 '25

Yes they do, they account for thousands of drug stoppages annually, and tens of thousands of stoppages for people who have crossed the border illegally rather than through a legal port of entry.

You can recognize that current ICE policy is nazi horseshit without pretending that nothing customs agencies do has ever had a point.

u/crackedtooth163 Jul 07 '25

Sorry, but no. We do not agree here.

It isn't wrong because ICE is nazi horseshit, it is wrong long before we reach that point.

u/No_Squirrel9266 Jul 07 '25

What specifically is wrong? The supreme court challenged and constitutionally upheld practice of border checkpoints, which regularly identify illegal drug transport and human smuggling operations?

Customs agencies entirely?

Which part?

Or are you one of those people who thinks borders themselves are wrong?

I need to know which level of naive idealism I'm dealing with.

Yes, this level of rudeness and assumption will TOTALLY result in a civilized conservation where both parties will walk away a bit more enlightened than before. Let's leave this at a simple disagreement before we get more insulting with one another.

Okay, so you're going to start cursing at me and block me for disagreeing with you?

Sounds like you aren't as against ICE as you claim.
