Here "the border" is a 100 mile wide buffer zone near the border. This is just ridiculous.

Again: that is something crazy the DHS said, and it's something SCOTUS has refuted. The idea of a 100 mile border search zone is obviously absurd.

Reference, please? If this has been challenged in court, I'd love to see some evidence so I can stop worrying about it.

Ameida-Sanchez v. US

    But the search of the petitioner's automobile by a roving patrol, on a
    California road that lies at all points at least 20 miles north of the
    Mexican border,[5] was of a wholly different sort. In the absence of
    probable cause or consent, that search violated the petitioner's
    Fourth Amendment right to be free of "unreasonable searches and
    seizures."

Sweet, thanks. :)
