I gotta find the link but a woman’s American-born son was detained at the airport for 8 hours and asked about his loyalty to the US because he’s asian looking and was heading to some middle-eastern country or some shit. So literal citizens are being stopped and questioned.
It’s kinda always been that way though, kinda on and off. I’m a white American citizen and I was detained over 4hrs coming back from Canada in the 90s. And six hours coming in from Mexico just before that. I’ve also been searched by guys holding AKs crossing European borders in the late 80s. And yet my US - Canada and back trip last month was super easy. Hostile borders have existed forever. I say, travel anyway.

Yeah but that was before the soviet union fell and people were getting shot trying to cross over to west Berlin over the wall… It’s absolutely insane that the US is now starting to be comparable to those horrifying times.
