    Just a reminder that the “border” in the US extends 100 miles inland from any actual physical border - so 100 miles inland from Canada, Mexico, the Atlantic, Pacific or Arctic oceans, or the Gulf of Mexico.

    And that for the last decade or so, they’ve also been trying to claim that any international airport is also a border, so the “border” would extend 100 out from Denver, Saint Louis, Indianapolis, etc.

    And they’ve been trying to claim that an “international” airport is any airport capable of landing an international flight, regardless of whether any international flights actually fly there.
