This seems impractical, unless they want to turn America into a police state.
Passports for interstate travel?
Many big cities are on state borders, with millions traveling back and forth every day.
Will there be border checkpoints between New Jersey and New York City?
Between Philadelphia and New Jersey?
Between Washington DC and Maryland and Virginia? And also between the Virginia suburbs and the Maryland suburbs of Washington? Will the Capital Beltway become permanent gridlock?
Between Cincinnati and its Kentucky suburbs?
Between Louisville and its Indiana suburbs?
Between Kansas City Missouri and Kansas City Kansas?
What about that town, Bristol Virginia and Tennessee, where the state line is a street running through the middle of town? In that case, simply crossing the street you will be in another state. Will there be border guards at every crosswalk across the street? I know how absurd that sounds, but such pedestrians would be involved in interstate travel.
I hadn't thought of that. St Louis is right on the border with IL and I'm sure thousands of people live in IL but work in Stl. As you say, many cities are right on the border of another State and some are split. Omaha is another, right up against Iowa. It would be impossible unless they intend to basically shut down the country. They're doing that in AUS. Great Reset?
These days nothing would surprise me. You'd think the flyover States' governments would recognize the possibilities and start banding together and making plans to Join or Die.
Same thing with Texarkana in Texas and Arkansas.
