Wow, I thought it was 'unconstitutional' to impede travel over state lines as a previous poster stated?

Our tax system is out of control, but if you owe money, you should have to pay up.
To re-enter the United States through air travel, however, a valid U.S. passport is required.
Traveling to Mexico is a breeze these days, with one exception: The U.S. Department of State recently amended its passport requirements for U.S. citizens traveling to and from Mexico.

Incorrect. I can travel to many foreign countries without a passport. The reason virtually all Americans have one for international travel is because the US requires one to return to the US. If someone is leaving the US because they're fed up with the US' bull crap, I doubt they'll be too concerned about reentering.

I don't really know what you mean 'strongest & likeable' but as I said earlier, UK, Finland & Sweden passports will get you into more countries without a visa than any other nations passports.

Canadian and Australian passports are considered to be the most strongest and likeable passports and yet you need one in any country you go.
Apologies for the late reply but I take it you now accept that your original statement regarding 'travel to many countries without a passport' was incorrect then?

Looks like the US pressured the rest of the Americas to coddle America's rules with the Western Hemisphere Initiative. If you're entering a country FROM the US, the destination country is supposed to refuse you entry if you lack a passport. Seems like a big load of BS to me.

Currently 173 countries will let Brits, Finns, and Swedes in just with our passports, so regardless if my Brit passport is less 'likeable' than Canadian & Australians as you assert, mine will get me into more nations than theirs will.
No confusion, A British passport (and also Finnish & Swedish) will get you into more countries than any other passport without a visa, 173 to be precise.

I think you're confusing the need for a visa to enter to a foreign country with the need to have a passport. They're totally different things.
Yeah, but you are illegally in that country, massive difference to walking through a border with a friendly smile from border guards.

Theirs one heck of a lot of borders where you can just walk across, in some countries the border passes through your living room.
If you are trying to say that someone in the US hood who has a Gran from Dublin can get automatic Republic of Ireland citizenship then again I cry bull# and suggest you investigate the reality of immigration agreements between Ireland and the US. #ing dreamland to be blunt.
Theirs also ways around all the bull.. like if you can prove Irish ancestry you can become Irish.
They already have fella, see the OP, you is owned by the US govt.
The moment someone impedes free travel , so they can get your money it starts to smell.
Same for the US. There is nothing in the hallowed constitution about government issued passports which allow citizens to travel the world lol.

In Canada, the government owns the passport, not the individual, I don't know about the United States though.
Our passport can be revoked at any time they see fit for any reason.
