Can I just pretend to be a Mexican and sneak across? It would be a lot less trouble than going through the hassle of getting a passport and standing in line.

Is this a joke?

Millions of illegal aliens stream across the border every year from Mexico, with probably more than a few terrorists mixed in, and WE are suspect?

What word best describes this? Surreal? Denial? Public relations sham?

I usually only get this combined angry/dizzy feeling after reading the latest American Communism Leftist Union scam.

Americans will need passports to re-enter the United States from Canada, Mexico, Panama and Bermuda by 2008, part of a tightening of U.S. border controls in an era of terrorist threat, three administration officials said today.

This for sure will secure our borders!

Who's "we"? Americans are made up of many ethnic backgrounds, and if we make it harder for people to pass themselves off as Americans at our legal ports of entry, I don't see what's wrong with that.

It's a separate issue from the clandestine border crossings. Just get a dang passport or don't travel out of the country.

Uh, my wife and I have always used our passports when scuba diving in Cozumel.

This is a problem?

I also had to have a passport to visit Puerta Vallarta back in the 80's. When did they rescind that requirement?

American citizens need a passport. If you're Mexican, you can just walk right across. This stinks.

I don't have a problem getting a passport to travel out of the Country -- in fact I think it is a great idea.

Hostages for $$$ scheme? Plan to detain Americans to perform the work that Mexicans won't do?

Actually, when I am asked for my Social Security number, I always hand over my passport instead.

And how about the other way around? What about non-Americans?

A Driver's License is just that, a license to drive. It is not, nor should it be, verification of citizenship.

Back in 1966, just to see if it could be done, I entered Canada from the US simply by displaying my draft card which said I was "1-A". I also re-entered the United States from Canada the same way.

I did not show an identity card in either direction.

Just wait when they require you to have one to move from state to state within the US.

Will somebody who knows about passports please clue me in. When I leave Panama, I must always show a passport. When I enter the U.S.A., I again have to show my American passport. What has changed? Where have I been so out of touch?

Thank you.
