I think the President is right. and I know that since the President said that. the folks in Homeland Security have been reconsidering this issue. but I am very worried that they still may proceed with their regulations at some point. and I hope this Congress would weigh in on the question of whether we think everyone who moves back and forth across the Canadian border should have a passport. I dont believe the requirement for a passport is practical. I think it is overly burdensome. I believe that we ought to send that message to the Department of Homeland Security. I am not suggesting we dont care about security. We do. We care deeply about border security. But there must be other ways in which we can accomplish that task. And so my amendment will address that.
