It looks like our friends down south are getting a little less friendly to Canadian workers. From now on, Canadians who regularly cross the border into the US will be fingerprinted and photographed each time they cross. If that seems a little, well, unwelcoming, maybe we’re just misunderstanding the policy. Please, humanize this a little bit for us so we don’t feel like suspected criminals:
“Processing these Canadian citizens biometrically through US-VISIT will ensure parity with other aliens applying for admission to the United States, and increase security,” the department said in its proposed rule, published in the Federal Register.
Sorry America, I’m not feeling the love. Aliens? Aliens? I know that’s the technical lingo you guys use, but can’t you call us something that doesn’t immediately invoke an image of hostiles invading your country? Someday Americans perhaps?
