Thus. if handled incorrectly. the WHTI travel document requirements could have serious detrimental effect on the United States economy. Because of the cost and lack of speed in using a passport for frequent travelers across the U.S.-Canadian Border. the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has approved other forms of travel documents for U.S. citizens to comply with WHTI that are not available to Canadian citizens. This means that Canadian citizens have no current options other than to use a passport at border crossings to comply with WHTI requirements. I believe that. in certain circumstances. Canadian provincial drivers licenses and U.S. state drivers licenses should be accepted as border crossing documents. I also believe that when children accompany a legal guardian across the United StatesCanadian border. they should not have to provide separate travel documents from their guardian. After all. a parent should not have to suffer economic loss to verify that their three year old is not a terrorist.
