> Yes, someone in customs at an airport can be treated as functionally “at the border” with reduced protections. But you are conflating seeking entry with being present inside the country. That’s the legal line, and the Supreme Court has stated it clearly.

At least in terms of being "at the border", United States v. Martinez-Fuerte would appear to disagree.

That legal line you mention is both figuratively and literally not at the border; protections are weakened up to 100 miles away.

Most people in the USA live within 100 miles of the border. That 100 miles limit was chosen for a purpose, to weaken protections for most US citizens.

the 100 mile limit was chosen because its ~2 hour drive at 60mph, assuming some stop lights and on-ramps.

someone jumps the fence or is smuggled in via truck, etc., then CBP has maybe a couple hours to track them.

So glibly handing over your rights, and even going out of your way to defend it.

It’s a little more annoying coming from the country that goes on and on about its freedom.
