Yeah, all border patrol needs to do is watch the three border crossings and stop every covered wagon coming across and they'd dry that traffic right up.

I do believe the CSA/USA border was probably as long as the US Mexico border.

You mean the newspaper editorials?

When it comes to reporting that the locals intend to stop paying the tariffs if the Southern states are not going to be required to pay the tariffs, I would put that in the category of "news."

There are at least 50 border crossings for trucks and cars plus more for railroads plus aircraft. How much of that was available to rebel smugglers in 1862?

Fake news?
