Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative
(AKA) WHTI

Yes I have. I am from Minnesota and some places on the border, like International Falls, really don't like the new regualtions. Some people live in Canada and work in Minnesota or vice versa in that region. I understand why they want to do this, but it is pretty annoying for anyone who has to deal with it on a regular basis.

Yes I have heard of it, and it is long overdue. Anyone coming into the US needs a passport.

I've heard alot about them and have no objections whatsoever.
Personally though, it won't affect me much, seeing as I rarely leave the country and already have one since I left for the Dominican this past summer.
It's about time they started stepping up security laws for our nation.

It is good. If you leave the USA then you will need a passport to them why not back?

Passports are all fine and dandy. But how about fixing illegal immigration (i.e. felony statue and militarize the border) ?

i guess it is a step better, however I would be happy if we would just shoot anyone entering the U.S. illegally.
