Homeland Security Tightens Grip on International Travel

By Ezekiel

The Department of Homeland Security proposed new rules back in July that would fundamentally undermine the right of American citizens to travel abroad. Public carriers--airlines, cruise lines, even fishing boats--will be required to submit the names of all passengers to Homeland Security prior to departure and to obtain permission from Homeland Security to board those passengers. These new rules will take effect January 14, 2007.

So, how many illegals from Mexico walk right over the border into the U.S.? I guess that leaves lots of room for terrorists to enter through the same routes? Does the Mexican govt. check all passengers entering Mexico by air and sea?
