    There’s no first or fourth amendment rights within 100 miles of the border of the USA. Probably other missing rights too.

      That’s not true, because the Constitution applies to the whole place. Americans and non-citizens freely exercise those rights in those areas daily.

      If any agent of the government tells you otherwise, you must educate them and enforce the free exercise of your own rights.

        How exactly does one enforce the free exercise of their rights?

        Remember that agents of the government are often armed and generally don’t like being told what to do.
