MODERATORS
America isn't any better. Depending on what statistic you are looking at, 40% to 75% of all Americans live within 100 miles of the border
Not so fun fact: if American border patrol agents stop you within the 100 mile zone, they can ignore parts of the fourth amendment and perform what would normally be illegal search and seizure
can ice do more shit in the 100 mile zone or nah?
Yes and it includes 'within 100 miles of an airport'.
so basically the entire us?
Yep, which is why its more or less blatant ignorance of the constitution
Pretty sure it's not ignorance, otherwise how would they clean their butts?
Don't be such a hyperbolic drama queen; I'm sure theres like a ten square foot area in south dakota or something.
ICE isn't CBP though. They technically don't have jurisdiction over American citizens. CBP does.
Oh. Im sure all the citizens they kidnap are very comforted by that.
They've started using CBP agents for immigration raids...
@axEl7fB5@lemmy.cafe
Considering the relative surface areas, with those percentages you provided, actually, yes, America is less consolidated.
The United States also has eight times the total population. I only saw one source that said 40% and the overwhelming majority said either 2/3 or something in the low 70%
Could it be that one source referred only to places with an actual border, while the rest included anything within 160 km of any coast?
Lake Michigan isn't a border...
Due to the Straits of Mackinac, the CBP considers it to be so.
That would still make Chicago. The third largest city in America further than 100 miles from the border.
I reckon you can sail from lake superior to Chicago and not pass customs until Chicago.
It is a border between wet and dry.
...of which border?
The American one
Sorry. I clarified with a photo in my post.
I did a quick search online to get the percentage and I saw one result at 40% and the rest were all between 70 and 75% of the US population lives in the 100 mile zone
