This story reminds me of the quote of Kruschev back in the 60's that the US would be overtaken without a shot being fired. Here a community is held at bay. And there is no end in sight.

That has already been accomplished. Many of the planks of the Communist Manifesto have been implemented in America, without any significant opposition. We were too busy being entertained to take notice of what was going on within our own education cartel; within the media, and within the government. Interstates here in New England now have PERMANENT Border Patrol "checkpoints" established, and the American sheep just file through with nary a complaint. Baaaaa...baaaaaaa.

To: who knows what evil?
"Interstates here in New England now have PERMANENT Border Patrol "checkpoints" established...."

What takes place at a checkpoint? Are 'checkpoints actually at the borders of each of the New England States? Are the personnel at the checkpoints federal officers? Have the courts been asked to close the sites as they represent an infringement on the right of travel.

NOTE: As the Supreme Court notes in Saenz v Roe, the Constitution does not contain the word "travel" in any context, let alone an explicit right to travel. The presumed right to travel, however, is firmly established in U.S. law and precedent. In U.S. v Guest, the Court noted, "It is a right that has been firmly established and repeatedly recognized." In fact, in Shapiro v Thomson, Justice Stewart noted in a concurring opinion that "it is a right broadly assertable against private interference as well as governmental action. Like the right of association, ... it is a virtually unconditional personal right, guaranteed by the Constitution to us all." It is interesting to note that the Articles of Confederation had an explicit right to travel; it is now thought that the right is so fundamental that the Framers may have thought it unnecessary to include it in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights (My emphasis.). Taken from - Things that are not in the U.S. Constitution
