In addition to standard application fees. the plan will require American citizens to pay for passport photos and travel to a passport application center just to take their families to the Toronto Blue Jays game or to Niagara Falls. There is no question in my mind that we must protect our borders. I think all of our citizens agree with that. from illegal immigrants and potential terrorists. But we should not turn away legitimate business and visitors. as the U.S. and Canadian economies have become interdependent. Therefore. my amendment requires that the Governmental Accounting Office conduct a study of the potentially adverse economic impact that this new requirement for land and sea travelers may have upon American business.
