I invite you to come see that some time. It is a beautiful piece of architecture. That is why I am so troubled by the socalled Western Hemisphere Travel Initiatives. which would require individuals from the United States. Canada. Mexico. and the Caribbean to present passports or other documents proving citizenship before entering the United States. This is a dramatic change in the way border crossings have been processed in the western hemisphere since the Treaty of Paris set up the international boundary to Canada in 1783. That is already costing us greatly. The Departments of State and Homeland Security have been charged with implementing this law.
