US to make it tougher for Americans to cross border into US

You know, this post's title just screams "Scrappleface," but this isn't a satirical post. According to this story, by 2008 we will have tightened our borders by requiring Americans to show a passport to get back into the country from Canada or Mexico. I'm fine with that, but the story doesn't say much about whether we will be stemming the tide of illegal immigrants who are crossing into this country without any identification. Unless the Bush administration starts to crack down on illegal immigration, I'm tempted to oppose this passport initiative out of principle.
