When the Border Patrol Comes Aboard
"Traveling from New York City to Buffalo on Amtrak’s Lake Shore Limited last month, I wondered what I would say if Border Patrol agents showed up on the train at Syracuse or Rochester and asked, “Are you a U.S. citizen?”
My plan was to politely decline to answer, and see what happened next."
