Thank you for the videos.

The guy thinks he's 'back home', but until the federales say you are, then you aren't.
This border control stuff has some logical discontinuities at the D-mark!
I've never been asked questions crossing to and from Mexico. Otherwise they ask questions.

I LEARNED my lesson one time returning from Europe. There was this young man in front of me who mouthed off to the customs guy, so he ended up having ALL of his underwear put on display, unpacked, unrolled ~ right down to the dirty socks, and he got to stand there for a long time as they searched even the liner of his bags.
I resolved to never PO any of these people ~ not ever!

OK, I incorrectly inferred that you would dislike some illegal slipping through that airport and committing some crime in your hometown. All who would infer the same must also be incapable of rational thought. Agreed? Who said anything about this citizen entering the US? I alluded to the 10 illegals behind him in line who did not get the scrutiny that they may have deserved because Officers were busy with this narcissist.
Rabid dog? I’m OK with that. I’m also OK with lawyers holding the government to their standard and protecting the constitution, this BS did none of that.

I've been travelling internationally for the past 40 years, and they always ask questions like that Israeli airport security agents (arguably the best in the world) are trained to ask those kinds of questions. They're looking for odd answers or odd physical responses.

Everybody is motivated by something.
1. U.S. citizens and residents are subject to U.S. income tax on worldwide income, while nonresidents are subject to U.S. income tax on U.S. source income and income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.
What is this guy's motivation? Open border activist? Personal skeletons? Constitutional crusader? Anybody’s guess.

For the record, a buddy sent this to me and I thought it would be of interest. I am not the lawyer in question.
To: muawiyah
Why are you afraid of having your underwear displayed? Wouldn’t bother me.

Outstanding. I guess I can stuff 11k in US Dollars in my pants and waltz across the border exercising my 1st and 5th amendment rights. Are you going to defend me?

I’ve felt the same way this week with many siding with Tray in FL.

A USC can show up with nothing, declare themselves a citizen and they have to be admitted. Admitted about 120 feet to the detention cell.
What point of law are you quoting/assuming with such a statement?
In addition, it is in error on its face. How can the person prove he is a US citizen without a passport? Are we to accept the statement of everyone at the border that they are a USC?
This is idiocy .

That would be a 4th Amendment issue.

No, it wouldn't. You are obligated to declare such a sum. Verbally or in writing. Slip it through and then turn around and tell them that you entered with it and see what they charge you with.

The guy filled out a written declaration. That was all that was legally required.

How can the person prove he is a US citizen without a passport?With a Geneva Conventions ID card when coming from overseas. With a driver's license if coming from Mexico or Canada.
I've never travelled out of the country using a passport. Orders and ID.

I think that he is trying to imply that anyone in the world can jump on a plane, land in the US and then just tell the Border Officer “F#$% you” before walking past him and entering the US. Awesome plan and constitutionally protected according to some of these brainiacs.

OK, that info is a little old. A drivers license cannot be used to prove citizenship and the US State Department has stated as much. Even “closed loop” trips, such as a cruise to the bahamas or the caribbean, require a birth certificate at a minimum.

The guy did everything required by law, and they let him in. They just got pissy about it because he refused to do what wasn't required by law.
It's pretty easy to get back in the US. With or without ID. Ask 15 million illegal aliens.
So why do citizens have to jump through hoops? And bust the Constitution in the process?
I won't ever travel abroad again, since I don't study war no more, but I still have use for an intact Constitution.

To: JRandomFreeper
Sorry, your information is very dated. ID card and orders for military only.
For civilians, from ALL countries, inc. Mexico and Canada, passport ir REQUIRED. Even for 3 day Carribean cruise starting in Florida or a Sunday bullfight in TJ.
