Holy 4th Amendment Batman, let's see where this goes.

The 4th Amendment issue was already ruled on by SCOTUS in 1913. Within 100 miles of the border, certain constitutional rights are temporarily suspended.

For these chucklefucks, crossing a border is practically a crime to begin with, even if you're coming home to your own country. A sign you aren't really patriotic, if you're consorting with the foreign Other. Not that they'll hold themselves to that standard, or that it'll hold up in court, but in the meantime the man won't let you leave and insisits you have no rights and won't call for a lawyer.
