US easing Passport rules for the summer

A note in the Mexican paper Reforma and another in the Globe and Mail today June 8th indicate that the US is preparing to ease passport rules for this upcoming summer season. It seems that lawmakers and Homeland security have been in discussions prompted by hundreds of thousands of Americans upset at the fact that they cannot get passports in time for the summer holidays. The changes reported would allow Americans to re-enter their country with proof of application to get a passport plus government issued id. Hopefully this will mean more American visitors to Canada this summer and not more confusion in the marketplace regarding the WHTI passport rules.
