Starting February 1st, a driver's license and oral declaration of citizenship will not be enough to enter the United States.
So we can make it harder to enter the country legally through our ports of entry, but we can't secure our damn borders. This 'do as I say, not as I do' mentality of the government has got to stop.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is predicting longer lines for those entering the United States because of new border crossing rules that will soon take effect.
Starting February 1st, a driver's license and oral declaration of citizenship will not be enough to enter the United States. People will have to present proof of citizenship, usually in the form of a passport or a birth certificate.
Chertoff says that without the rule change, the country risks another September 11th-type attack, adding that critics of the effort need to "grow up."
Chertoff says his agency will have to push back a deadline for requiring passports -- rather than birth certificates -- at the borders. Chertoff has already delayed the rule once, but Congress recently passed legislation delaying the passport requirement until June of 2009.
