I'm not sure if you're joking, but if not - the US Border spans 100 miles inland, covering 66% of the population

lol, whoops. I was just imagining a land border. I didn’t consider that Great Lake to be a border with Canada. I grew up in Wisconsin, and I’ve never considered it a border. It’s mostly surrounded by US land.

If you take a boat from Wisconsin to Michigan, do you cross into Canada?

Is the US ceding the Great Lakes to be international waters?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 18 hours ago

Isn't that also extended to 100miles around each international airport?

IIRC, there is almost no place in the US where you're safe from that bullshit

And that is assuming that anyone even cares anymore about these rules. They can still just arrest you, jail you for months and have your case thrown out, who cares, they'll arrest you again, and redo this merry-go-round until you leave or die.

The US always had been a shitshow but now it's just nazi Germany 1934
