“Donald Trump’s alleged would-be assassin, Ryan Routh, is an American citizen. Presumably he was born in the United States. He obviously traveled across state lines to get to Florida. That raises an important question: Should the U.S. Constitution be amended to enable each state to establish border controls around the state to protect the citizenry from violent people from other states? In other words, given the large number of American citizens who commit acts of violence, why not abolish America’s centuries-old policy of open borders between the states? Wouldn’t that help keep people safe within each state, just as border controls along our Southern border supposedly keep us safe from violent foreign criminals?” (09/17/24)
