Border controls are one thing. Freedom of movements is another. Being forced to flash id card at the border is not the same as the border officer being able to refuse entry to a legal EU citizen.
- jacquesm 11y agoTrue, but that means long lines waiting at the borders between countries again (hours for citizens, days for trucks). The damage would be enormous.
- anigbrowl 11y agoI'm not cool with flashing ID. Could you imagine being in the US and having to go through checkpoints every time you crossed a state border?
- selimthegrim 11y agoYou've never seen the ag inspection stations at California border crossings, or the Border Patrol posts near the NM/TX line?

The latter has nothing essential to do with the NM/TX border, there are border patrol checkpoints (including mobile ones) in a pretty wide swath "near" the Mexican border. They don't exist to enforce any kind of control on state borders.
