Why make it so hard for American citizens to get in, but so easy for
Mexicans?
We are talking about going through customs, not wading across the
river. I always get waved through with a "do you have anything to
declare" but a latin looking person better have his papers in order.
I am aware of these new rules and I do have a new passport coming,
just in case they are profiling rednecks some day. The picture on mine
looks like my high school yearbook picture and so does my driver's
license. I need to show my CCW if they want a recent picture.
I am in the 'everyone should have a passport', or a national ID of some
sort, camp. It works for the Europeans.
We already have one - it's called a driver's license.
Some states only require a phone bill or a electric bill to confirm
residency in the state rather than citizenship in the USA.
