The "most people" actually comes from the part he left out... it's not just 100 miles from any border, it's 100 miles from any international airport, which does include most people.

IIRC the "100 miles from an airport" part was requested/proposed but never actually happened (presumably because the FBI gang didn't want the CBP gang on it's turf).

No, an intl airport is a point of entry, but not a border.

True, but it looks like the "100 miles from an airport" part of the law was not enacted after all. My mistake.
