I think you'll find that just about all your immigrants fit that
description, not least the earliest ones (well, since 1492, anyway).
Nowadays, American emigrants fit the description too.

What a neat way to get people to give up their rights and freedoms
without a struggle.
I think we have too many immigrants who came from somewhere where the
government had the right to walk all over their people, and who see no
problem with that happening here. How long until they start building the
concentration camps and gas chambers? I guess I am glad I am getting
old, and will not have long to live under this new program.

Quoting John Francis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
It's of little interest to citizens of other foreign countries;
for them, passports are already required. I'm not sure whether
my resident alien card (aka green card) is sufficient; I always
use my passport, just to be sure.
Back when I had a green card, it usually was sufficient.
However, that was way before September 2001 ... Perhaps some things
have already changed in that area.
I personally do not see what is the big outcry about passports. You
intend to vote, you register to vote. You intend to drive a vehicle,
you get a driver's licence. You intend to travel to another country,
you get a passport. Acquiring the appropriate documents to do certain
things has been a fact of life, worldwide, for a very long time now --
and passports in particular are nothing new.
Looks like they're planning to access some frequent-traveller alternate
IDs at the land borders in lieu of passports, anyway.
(OnT content: You can take the passport picture with a Pentax. I've
done 'em for all my immediate family and a friend or two.)
