CONTROLS * USA - Passport Requirement takes effect Monday, June 1
Washington,DC,USA -Land Line Magazine, by David Tanner -May 29, 2009: -- Starting Monday, June 1, anyone who crosses the border into the U.S. from Canada or Mexico for any reason will be required to show a passport or another approved document regardless of citizenship...

Canadian citizens have been required since 2008 to show a valid passport, FAST, NEXUS or SENTRI card, or an enhanced driver’s license... (Photo from USA Embassy: Passport required)
