No, not illegal immigrants.
YOU, Amurkn!!!!
"Tighter Border Delays Re-entry by U.S. Citizens"
"United States border agents have stepped up scrutiny of Americans returning home from Mexico, slowing commerce and creating delays at border crossings not seen since the months after the Sept. 11 attacks.
The increased enforcement is in part a dress rehearsal for new rules, scheduled to take effect in January, that will require Americans to show a passport or other proof of citizenship to enter the United States.
Agents along the southern border were asking more returning United States citizens to show a photo identity document. At the same time, agents are increasing the frequency of what they call queries, where they check a traveler’s information against law enforcement, immigration and antiterror databases.
Wait times at border stations in Texas have often stretched to two hours or more, discouraging visitors and shoppers and upsetting business."
[Doesn't it make you mad?
Illegals poring over the border like crazy, while YOU are waiting in line, Amurkn!!!
Of course, if business is getting upset, the situation may change]
The delays could remain a fact of life across the southern border for the next few years, border officials said, at least until new security technology and expanded entry stations are installed and until Americans get used to being checked and questioned like foreigners.
[See that, Amurkn?
You are now a FOREIGNER in your own HOMELAND!!!
Sig Heil, 'ey?]
W. Ralph Basham, the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection: “A safer border is well worth the wait.”
Wait times of up to three hours have also been reported over the past few months at crossings from eastern Canada.
Starting Jan. 31, American citizens returning home by land will have to present either a passport, or a citizenship document like a birth certificate together with a government-issued identity card with a photograph.
[Your PAPERS! Sig Heil!]
The requirement is the next phase of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, which Congress adopted in a 2004 bill that enacted recommendations of the Sept. 11 commission. It is intended to improve antiterror intelligence by gathering a record of everyone entering the United States.
[Does anyone else get angry that this is all based on a lie, or is it just me?
And how many illegals just crossed in the time it took me to write this?
Were any "terrorists?"
Pffffffttttt!!!!
