You realize these powers extend within 100 miles of any border?

Two-thirds of the U.S. population lives within this 100-mile border enforcement zone, including cities like Washington D.C., San Francisco CA, Chicago IL, New Orleans LA, Boston MA, & more.

I don't know, but if the 100 mile rule applies to international airports and waterways it would probably change that 2/3 of the population to something like 9/10.
