It really hurts business and I don't want my biometric data taken just because I want to spend a day or two in Mexico or Canada. It's pointless while we still have such porous borders.

Exactly. We need to use market forces to address this 'so called' border problem. It's funny how most on this thread seem to think ANOTHER piece of paper required by government is going to make them feel better.

Hes Right: Passports wont do anything. We cant check peoples passports until we catch them!

The Real solution could always be a Fence or Wall. The only traffic going through the none policed entrences (Ex. Deserts and Rivers as opposed to highways) Is a one-way stream from Mexico. A Fence and or wall could solve all that!

It won't hurt business and you are subject to CBP taking you biometric data when you reenter the country anyway.

Bingo. When I skip over to Nueva Laredo I'll show a passport to get back, meanwhile 50 miles upriver my office's future lawnkeeper is wading the Rio Grande.
