Green Card Holder Detained: The 'Land of the Free' Welcomes You!
Newsweek highlighted the egregious detention of a Green Card holder by Border Patrol for several hours simply because he didn't have his physical documents on him. Despite possessing legal status, officers held him, illustrating a system where individuals are presumed guilty until they can prove their innocence—a stark contrast to alleged American legal principles. One wonders if similar zeal is
applied to every citizen caught without their driver's license. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a symptom of ever-expanding, militarized border enforcement that frequently oversteps its bounds, often targeting individuals based on perceived ethnicity. The 'land of the free' paradoxically allows federal agents to perform warrantless stops within 100 miles of any border, encompassing
two-thirds of the U.S. population. How many 'patriots' silently endorse this encroaching overreach while clutching their Second Amendment rights? (Newsweek, 2018).
