Why should I have to pay the penalty?? I, as a native American citizen, should be allowed to travel freely within my OWN COUNTRY! Does anybody here object to that??
I agree. Shut down the checkpoints: they’re un-American. Legalize most drugs. Let non-functional addicts either get treatment or croak, their choice. The lives of trashy people who are stupid enough to get hooked on hard drugs are not worth the cost of the “War on Some Drugs” nor the destruction of civil liberties that it entails.
But do you really believe for a moment that Trump will shut down the checkpoints? He’s shown his true colors (authoritarian piece of dogshit) on many occasions. He’s also a cop-hugger. You think he’d be willing to put Federal cops out of work by making their work redundant?
