Federal Agents Board Buses 100 Miles From Border To Ask, Are You A U.S. Citizen?

When people are crossing a U.S. border, they expect to be asked about their citizenship. But not when they're driving up the East Coast.

U.S. Border Patrol agents are boarding buses from private lines like Greyhound and Concord Coach within 100 miles of a U.S. border, asking passengers if they're American citizens. It turns out agents are empowered to do this through a little-known law called the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. There are more and more reports of officers stopping cars and buses.

They've done this since I can remember.  Which is a pretty long time.

Hey if liberals don't like this, because they consider it a police state, all they have to do is agree to build border walls were feasible and have manned positions covering were it isn't so that illegal immigration is ground to a halt. It's a simple equation, no illegal immigration equals no spot checks on buses and trains within the 100 mile border zone.

Of course what the liberals will demand is for the 1952 law to rescinded so as to make it easier for illegals, drug runners and terrorists to flow into America without fear of being caught.
