IF they don't like it they DO NOT have to come to USA.

How many hollow threats to illegals does this make now?We have yet to see the implementation of ANYTHING!!

Some Mexican nationals say they are suspicious of a new U.S. security plan that will eventually track all foreign visitors as they enter and leave the United States.

Hmm.

Sounds like these people need to be on some sort of watch list.

"One day they're going to ask: 'Why are you crossing? What's your intent here?' "

Ummmm, maybe it's just in the movies that I've seen this, but don't they already ask this?

For example, Douglas has six traffic lanes coming into the United States and only two for leaving.

There's the problem right there... let's have fewer lanes coming in, and more going out!

If shopping in the United States means her comings and goings will be tracked and recorded, "it's better not to come," she said.

If she means to threaten us she'll have to do waaay better than that.

As a delivery driver, he crosses into Arizona two to three times a day to buy gasoline that is cheaper and of higher quality than what is sold in Mexico.

He must think we fell off of the Jicama truck.

I think she stubbled into the correct answer to the problem...

You know what torques me about the reaction of "some Mexican nationals" to this plan?

Mexico already does this!

When we vacationed in Puerto Vallarta, we had to fill out a Mexican tourist/business visa form to be scanned by an OCR system, indicating where we were staying, how long we expected to stay, our passport numbers, and our names and home address.

Upon entry, our passport data was scanned, and the Mexican customs officer kept the top half of the form. Upon our departure, we had to return the bottom half of the form to be matched to the top half.

I have an extra copy of the form at home, I'll post it when I get there.

" U.S. to keep track of legal crossings"

Which just tells you how *#(U)$%()%()@#$*(*(&*(_&T_&!()&!#%__ we have been. You mean we haven't been?????? That says volumes about how the terrs can have a field day here. INS must be run by the cheapest, dumbest bureaucrats money can rent.

What they really have a problem with is that so many get these shopping cards and then come back and forth to work and bring their kids to US schools. You see all these "shoppers" every morning waiting in the lines at 6-7 am to come over, you can follow them to the nearest school and watch them drop off 5-6 kids to have US taxpayers provide a free education (and free breakfast and lunch), then they head to work and you'll see them heading back home at 5pm. Very little shopping got done.
