Obama/DHS Wants to Start Charging Our Neighbors To Visit Us
2011-03-21
Canadians looking to visit the United States, arriving via air or sea, may soon pay more for the privilege.

A $5.50 border fee proposed for the 2012 budget would net millions for the American coffers, funding security measures.

However, many of our neighbors from the north are not thrilled with the move, including Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper who said in February: "I think in terms of the economic recovery, we want to make sure that trade and travel between our two countries is easier, not more difficult."

Citizens from Mexico and the Caribbean would also pay the fee that America's nearest neighbors have long been exempt from, Canada included.
