You are missing the point. What he is saying is that the 100-mile zone only applies to people who have recently crossed the border. In other words, just because you put two feet on dry land on the coast with 10 kilos of heroin doesn’t mean that Border Patrol can’t bust you. They can do so within 100 miles of the coast, for events relating to a border crossing, but if you simply live in that area and haven’t re-entered the country recently, they have no jurisdiction.

That's not the case here. Whether or not you've recently crossed the border is completely up to the judgement of a customs and border patrol agent. Customs and border patrol sets up checkpoints to interrogate American citizens in violation of the constitution. This isn't just a hypothetical either, this happens today and anyone that has gone through a checkpoint can attest to that and these checkpoints are often 60 - 70 miles away from any border. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnicMKKSReY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnicMKKSReY
