From the Niagara Falls Review:
Welcome to the United States. No passport required.
Scores of native North Americans poured across into Canada from the U.S., then returned home without a passport Saturday, despite new American rules requiring most people to carry a passport or some other approved government document to enter the United States.
Natives have been able to travel freely across the border for years, but they sympathize with Canadians and Americans whose identification requirements have been increased in order to get into the United States.
The American government might have made a “hasty decision” that curtails the ability of non-Natives to travel back and forth, said Leroy Hill, a spokesman for the chiefs council of the Six Nations.
“We would like to see this border as open and simple as possible for the average working Canadian and American,” Hill said in an interview Saturday.
