Freedom comes with many sacrifices......Even with the detours, delays, inconviences, and hassles.....there must be things done to ensure the safety and security of this country and it's people. These type of new laws are not thought of until parties of the government notice illegals using this method as egress into the country.

If the most innocent person trying to make a better place for his/her family to live can do it illegally then the most evil person filled with hate and death can use it to kill and destroy US.

If you are legal and moral, and have nothing to hide, then there should not be any complaints about stricter policies and laws to prevent those who do not belong in our country------in OUR country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they (illegals, etc) could not stroll across our borders from both Canada and Mexico completely unabated, I might agree with you. But there is a far larger problem than folks returning from a day of fishing...might want to address that first.

How are they supposed to know if you are coming back from fishing or smuggling illegals at $10,000 a pop. That is more money than you would get than from 2 monster tuna. Right!?!?

I do see that some times the gov't should say screw you and profile, but thanks to many democrates and bleeding heart liberals, people should have the right to not be profiled!! B.S. If you look like you might be a terrorist or someone of interest then oops you're it, but if you have nothing to hide than it is not an issue.

Good points by all of you. Let's keep this post civil please.

This has nothing to do with illegal aliens or illegal immigration into this country. It's clear that the Federal Government has no intention of enforcing existing immigration or labor laws, or securing our border. This program is just another smoke screen, like the fence that will never be built. Both are designed to give the illusion that something is being done.

Meanwhile, the goal of this administration is just the opposite. It is a "North American Union" similar to the European Union, with completely open borders from the Arctic Circle to Central America.

They're gonna have to arrest me, because I'm not stopping.

No, they're going to do to you what they've done to us since 2001...stick us in jail. Your passports are good for 10 years, ours for only five.

But for the most part they aren't interested in securing your ports, they are involved in finding out how many home-grown wackos you have. If by 2008, everyone that has no felony record has a passport, then they'll know.

It's what we've dreading for the last eight years. And, you can forget the US Dollar. We hear it's going to be called the Amero! It will be backed by gold, not credit.

Hey, I'm a bleeding heart liberal with some understandings of things.

I don't like the idea of a passport needed to go fishing but I have one, I can carry it, its not that big of a deal. If you go outside this country, even if its on the water, I can understand the logic.

By the way, it was not the liberals who passed this if it was in 2004......it was a republican house, senate and president.......
