You sound like a libertarian. That’s cool, so I assume you are in favor of legalizing drugs? Me too. If that were to happen, then ironically these contentious border checks probably wouldn’t exist in the first place because drugs are what they are really looking for, not illegals.
I’m a libertarian with liberal leanings on some issues. And yes, many drugs should be legalized, and the people responsible for wasting a trillion $ or so on the war on drugs should be locked up in an institution for the criminally stupid.
I have no problem with BORDER checks at the border. I do have a problem with random checks inside the US. I have an even bigger problem with probing questions about things that are none of the business of the people asking them, and have no relation to whether I’m carrying drugs, have a trunk full of “extreme Southerners,” or am an American citizen.
