If a Nuke is heading here it would be blocked from entering USA air space? that's not a thing?

Reagan wanted one, but everyone was too busy being angry about some damn thing, even back in the 80s.

The US has missile defense. Not a grid, but interceptor missiles.

No one does. People underestimate how fast ICBMs fly.

So for more info. Modern nukes break apart in orbit to form dozens of smaller nukes.

Say a 10 megaton (1000 Hiroshimas) nuke is launched at New York. Once it gets in orbit with a reentry trajectory to hit New York it'll break apart into like 20 nukes that all spread out to hit all over New York. So even if 10 missiles are sent to intercept it some nukes will get through and kill everyone.

Also, countries have like 10,000 nukes like that so it's not remotely possible to shoot them all down.
