That’s right, you can’t enter the US from Mexico, Canada, or the Bahamas without your US Passport. Don’t have a passport? Looks like you’re not getting in.

Think about that everyone. Your Government is now telling you that you may not enter you’re own country without presenting your papers for inspection.

Then of course you have mandatory dose of propaganda telling us how this makes us “safer”

The new regulation brings Mexicans, Canadians and Bermudans into compliance with regulations for other foreigners entering the United States.

The next step, requiring travelers crossing borders or arriving in U.S. ports to hold valid passports, will affect many more people. Nearly three times as many travelers come into the United States by land or sea as by air.

“It makes sense: If the rest of the world needs a passport, Mexicans should, too,” said Romero. “But it won’t be easy.”

Some how a law that changes the rules for American Citizens is actually going to stop Mexicans from entering the country. Except for the part where illegal immigrants don’t usually come over at guarded border crossings.
