Section 110 overlooks the history and tradition of the longest peaceful border in the world. and that is shared northern borders with Canada. For decades. most Canadian nationals have been exempt from registering with the 194 documentation for entry into the United States. In 1996. more than 116 million people entered the United States by land from Canada. and 76 million more were Canadian nationals or U.S. permanent residents. Imposing a registration requirement on Canadians who otherwise are not required to possess a visa or passport will cause traffic tieups of chaotic proportions. All this bill purports to do is. it purports to delay the implementation of the requirements on both borders. It is a technical correction.
