> to literally throw out the US constitution and say that the US constitution does not apply to you or protect you and anyone on the border That's not what the source you give says. It says the Fourth Amendment's prohibitions on searches and seizures do not fully apply at the borders. And even that is a questionable description of the actual state of the law. The Fourth Amendment prohibits "unreasonable" searches and seizures; the actual state of the law is that searches and seizures at the border for the purpose of preventing contraband from entering the country are not considered unreasonable, so the Fourth Amendment does not prohibit them. And, as another response to you pointed out, all this was the state of the law before the Chevron case even began, so whatever issues you might have with it cannot be due to Chevron deference. Indeed, much of the state of the law is due to court rulings, not agency findings, so Chevron would not apply to it even if it had been decided earlier.
