Sen. Patrick Leahy is preventing the Bush administration from requiring passports next year from people crossing the U.S.-Canada border and the U.S.-Mexico border by land.

The Leahy-sponsored measure - rolled into the omnibus spending bill - will prevent the passport requirement from taking effect until Jan. 1, 2009 at the earliest

Yup, time to build a fence along that 3,000 miles of unprotected border.

[Don Corleone]

Perhaps he’s retarded.

Perhaps????

At least someone’s trying to get this mindless knee-jerking under control. If I want to go across to go have dinner in Progresso, Mexico I shouldn’t have to have a damn passport to come back. It’s a pain in the butt.

[Churchjack]

Exactly. Like gun control.

As a Texan, I prefer not to require a passport.

Right. Got to get those illegal voters into place for the election in November 2008. This SHOWs their agenda on the issue.
