Why make it so hard for American citizens to get in, but so easy for

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.


And it worked for the Nazis and the Soviets, both of whom would "grab"
the national ID of anyone they didn't like. No thanks.

Harry, the ID you've got now could be grabbed just as easily. Why are you
so concerned?
