Passport Required To Re-Enter U.S.

Better have a passport the next time you plan to go to Canada, it'll soon be
the law.

The Departments of State and Homeland Security announced the "Western
Hemisphere Travel Initiative" today. It will require all U.S. citizens,
Canadians, Mexicans, and citizens of Bermuda to have a passport to enter or
re-enter the U.S.

Currently Americans only have to show their driver's license or another
government approved ID.

The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act passed last December by
Congress mandates this change.

Assistant Secretary Of State Maura Harty says, "The Western Hemisphere
Travel Initiative is an important step in protecting homeland security and
DHS and the State Department will use all available resources to implement
this travel initiative by the deadline set forth in law."

Americans will have to display documentation to get back into the U.S., if
traveling by land or sea, by the end of 2005. That expands to all travel to
the U.S. by 2006.

This government is leaning fascist, and they are already going
overboard.

I wouldn't have a problem proving who I was. Then again, I'm not a
terrorist or an illegal...

Most every country in the world requires a passport as far as I know. Not much
of a big deal.

Then again, if something were to happen many of the left-wingers would be
screaming even harder about why border security was not tightened.

I just love how they use the 'buzzwords' of NAZI and GESTAPO... they, as usual,
haven't a damn frickin clue... and hopefully like the NAZI's and the GESTAPO,
they will wind up in the dust bin of history.

Reciprocity will be in effect. You will have to have one to enter Canada
also and I assume the other countries also. But they are also going to
have a "smart card" system, where frequent travellers can get a card that
will allow for quick passage. It will contain a biometric indicator or
two. So it'll be Gestapo and 1984 type tactics depending on whether yopt
to pay another fee to get the new card thing.
