You stated it is a constitutional violation to be made to prove citizenship. I'm not questioning your knowledge but am not familiar with that passage. Since the constitution lays out what federal government can do it should be no problem to cite that clause.
4th Amendment would seem to be in play here.
They call it an Exclusion Zone precisely because Constitutional protections are excluded. It extends 100 miles around every port of entry. This includes any airport with international service (Canada included). That's why the entire state of Florida is in the Exclusion Zone. That's why you and I likely live in one as well.
But even beyond the Constitutional issues involved, what kind of society allows uniformed officers - border guards - to detain its own citizens in their own nation incommunicado on their whim?Capriciously if they choose. Is that a place you would enjoy living? Not happening to you in particular? Please reread Pastor Niemoeller before taking that easy out.
