Border checkpoints inside the country?
- saagarjha 8y agoThe US Border Patrol has jurisdiction 100 miles from any international border or coast, or something like that.
- jghn 8y agoIirc anything within 100 miles is considered the border zone. And that turns out to be an awfully large percentage of the heavily populated areas of the country
- swozey 8y agoYeah, a lot of the popular ranches are within 100 miles of the border where the border patrol sets up jurisdiction. South Texas consists of an insane amount of huge ranches. Stuff by Uvalde, etc. If you fly a private plane to MX you also have to land at Laughlin AFB at the border and have your plane searched.
- nraynaud 8y agoyeah, there are 2 fixed ones between Yuma and San Diego on the I8.
- nitwit005 8y agoCalifornia has it's own checkpoints, although they're purely about keeping pests out: https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/pe/ExteriorExclusion/borders.html https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/pe/ExteriorExclusion/borders.h...
