Recently I posted the following question on both the American and Canadian versions of Yahoo's ASK :
Frankly, I was shocked by the bitterness of some of the responses. Here they are:
No, I don't.
*******
Yes, anything to keep Canadians out of our country!
*******
It should have happened a long time ago. I'm sick of illegal americans!
*******
Yes, we need to keep the criminals and scum out of Canada...it's about time and now I don't have to travel to that shthole over there on business bc I don't have a passport...yeee hawww !!
Grateful I'm Canadian

I don't think that it's a bad idea to require passports at the border. I mean, most of us should have one since they were previously required for air travel. In the end, I think that it makes the border patrol more efficient. Instead of needing to check a number of documents, they only need to check one. I noticed when the airlines started requiring passports for travel that it became a lot quicker to get through security checkpoints. Hopefully we find the same thing happen at the border.
*******
The only people that are unhappy about it are a few indians that want to continue to smuggle smokes and drugs.
*******
It's your US tax $$ that are paying for it. Wasn't our idea.
*******
I didn't ask for this extra security. I'm an American and I'm paying the price. It's not fair to blame me. I never voted for the passports. This is not a townhall democracy. I didn't CHOOSE this!
