I ran across 2 border checkpoints this past summer while driving from San Diego to Gulfport with my son. They were scary fucking places in the middle of the night. Guards with M16s, dogs, the whole bit. It felt like something you would expect to see going into East Germany from West Germany back before the fall of the Iron curtain. The only thing they asked was if we were citizens but it was very intimidating.
That is not what America is supposed to be about.
