He ʻano misnomer mau nō ia - pale maikaʻi loa ʻia ka “palena palena ʻole i pale ʻole ʻia o ka honua”.
Akā ʻo ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo ma mua e ʻoi aku ana ma mua o ka Pōʻakahi, ke koi aku nā mea o kēia wā o ka palekana home i nā Kanada a me nā ʻAmelika e lawe i kahi passport i mea e hele ai i ka palena 9,000-kilomita a komo i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
ʻO ke ana i kakali a kali lōʻihi ʻia ka mea i hōʻeuʻeu i ka lima nui i nā ʻāina ʻelua, ka hapanui e nā luna pekelala a me nā panalāʻau ma Kanada a ma nā moku palena e hopohopo nei i nā hopena luhi o ka ʻalalā waiwai.
ʻO ia nō kekahi e hōʻike hewa ʻia, wānana ʻia ʻo Chris Sands, he hoa nui ma ka Hudson Institute ma Wakinekona a me kahi mea nānā lōʻihi o ka launa me nā palena.
"Hoʻonui iki ʻia ka haunaele," wahi a Sands. "ʻAe, he koi hou kēia, akā he koi ia e loaʻa kahi waiwai kūpono ... ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia ka ʻike maikaʻi aʻe."
Ma hope o ʻehā mau makahiki o ka hoʻomaka wahaheʻe a me kekahi mau ʻae liʻiliʻi i ka poʻe kūʻē, hoʻomaka ka Bush-era Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative i ka Pōʻakahi, e pili ana i nā mea huakaʻi ma mua o 16 mau makahiki ma Kanada, Mexico, Caribbean a me Bermuda, a me nā ʻAmelika e hoʻi mai ana mai kahi ʻē.
E koi ʻia i kēlā mau huakaʻi āpau e loaʻa kahi passport a i ʻole kekahi ʻano o ka hoʻonui ʻana, nā palapala i ʻae ʻia e US.
Ua wanaʻao ka lā ma muli o ke kūʻē ʻana iā WHTI ma Kanada a me nā mokuʻāina no ka makaʻu i ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa kūkae ʻoi loa, me ka ʻole o ka miliona o ke kālā o ke kūʻai aku i kēlā me kēia lā.
ʻAʻole paʻa ka hapa nui o nā ʻAmelika i kahi passport - he 70 pākēneka paha o lākou, e like me nā helu a ka mokuʻāina ʻo US State no 2008. Ua kupu aʻe ka hopohopo no ka mea ʻaʻole e hoʻopilikia kēlā mau ʻAmelika i ka kipa ʻana iā Kanada, a leʻaleʻa paha i ka hana ʻana ma ka ʻākau o ka palena, inā lākou koi hou ʻia i kēia manawa e hoʻokaʻawale i ke kālā a hoʻomanawanui i ka hassle a ka keʻena lawelawe i ka loaʻa ʻana o hoʻokahi.
Akā ʻo ka lohi o ka hala ʻana o ʻelua mau makahiki i ka hoʻokō ʻana i ke ana he mea maikaʻi ia no nā ʻāina ʻelua, wahi a Sands, ʻoiai ua hāʻawi iā lākou i ka manawa e hoʻolaha aku ai i kēlā mau kūlanakauhale a me nā kauhale kahi e kahe ai ko lākou ola i ka palena i kēlā me kēia lā.
"Manaʻo wau ʻike mākou i kahi puʻupuʻu iki, akā ʻaʻole maikaʻi loa, hoʻololi," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.
"Ma nā wahi e like me Detroit a me Buffalo, kahi e hele nui ai ka huakaʻi - e ʻōlelo ana ka poʻe, E hele kāua i ka casino, e kūʻai i ka ʻaina awakea," a i ʻole kekahi mea e like me kēlā - e ʻike ʻoe i kahi hopena nui aʻe, akā no nā wā hoʻomaha i hoʻolālā ʻia. a me nā huakaʻi nui aku, ʻo ka mea e manaʻo ʻia aia paha he hassle hou aʻe, akā inā hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i Kanada, hiki iā ʻoe ke uku i ka passport. "
Ua kākoʻo ikaika ke aupuni Kanada a me nā luna kauʻāina palena palena iā WHTI i nā makahiki ma hope o ka noi ʻana o ke Komisina 9-11 e hoʻohana i nā palapala huakaʻi maʻamau i nā awa komo āpau o ka lāhui.
ʻOiai ʻo Michael Wilson, ka ʻelele ʻ Kanada ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, i komo i ka hana lobbying ma hope o ka hōʻike a ke komisina 2004, kahi mea i hāpai i nā kuʻemaka ma ka Keʻena ʻo Homeland Security.
ʻO Senators Patrick Leahy a me Ted Stevens, mai Vermont a me Alaska, ua hoʻokau ʻia i loko o ke kānāwai ma 2006 i hoʻopaneʻe i ka hoʻokō.
Ke hoʻohiki nei ʻo Lunamakaʻāinana Louise Slaughter, kahi New York Democrat, e hoʻopaneʻe iā ia i ʻelua mau mahina wale nō i hala, e wānana ana i ka "chaos pure" inā pili nā luna i ka lā hoʻokō o Iune. ʻAʻole i kūleʻa ʻo ia i ka hopena.
ʻO Sands, ʻoiai, ʻaʻole hoʻokahi wale i kona manaolana.
ʻO Jayson P. Ahern, ke komisina hana o ka Customs and Border Protection, ua hoʻomaopopo ʻo nā ana ʻana o nā kalaiwa e hele ana i ka palena i nā mahina i hala iho nei e hōʻike ana he ʻoi aku ma mua o 80 pākēneka o lākou i loaʻa ka ʻikepili i koi ʻia.
Eia hou, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, ua hoʻopuka ka Mokuʻāina Moku'āina i hoʻokahi miliona mau kāleka passport - ʻo ka ID nona ka ʻeke i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka loaʻa ma mua o nā puke "passport" maʻamau, ʻoiai ʻaʻole kūpono i ka huakaʻi ea.
Ma ka liʻiliʻi he ʻelua mau miliona mau kānaka ʻē aʻe, i ʻōlelo ʻo Ahern, aia ma ka liʻiliʻi he hoʻokahi o nā ʻano ʻehā o nā kāleka keʻa palena ʻae ʻia, e like me nā kāleka keʻa palena palena ʻo Nexus Canada-US a i ʻole nā laikini hoʻokele kūlana kiʻekiʻe o ka mokuʻāina.
"ʻAʻole wau e manaʻo i kekahi lohi nui a i ʻole nā kalaiwa huakaʻi ma muli o kēia papahana," wahi a Ahern.
"ʻAʻole he moʻolelo ma Iune 1."
Hoʻokahi mea kākoʻo no ka hoʻoponopono passport i ka ʻākau o ka palena, akā, i ʻōlelo ʻia ua lawelawe maikaʻi ʻole ʻia nā poʻe Kanada e Passport Canada i ka wā o ka Pōʻakahi e ʻā.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Bill McMullin ua hoʻopau ʻo Passport Canada i kāna lawelawe noi pūnaewele ma ka lā 30 o ʻApelila, e like me ka hoʻonui ʻana o nā keʻena pekelala ʻē aʻe i kā lākou loulou pūnaewele me nā Kanada.
"ʻAʻole i hana ʻo Passport Canada i kahi hana maikaʻi loa e hoʻomākaukau ana no ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o nā noi," wahi a McMullin.
"Eia kekahi laʻana, ʻaʻohe kumu o ke kaʻina hana, a i ʻole ke kaʻina holoʻokoʻa, no ka noi ʻana i kahi passport a hōʻano hou paha i kekahi, ʻaʻole hiki ke hana ʻia ma ka pūnaewele."
Ua ʻōlelo ka ʻoihana i hoʻokuʻu i kāna lawelawe noi pūnaewele no ka mea ʻaʻole maʻalahi ia no ka poʻe Kanada e like me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā palapala hoʻoiho e pono ai e hoʻopihapiha a lawe kino ʻia i kahi keʻena passport.
Ma hope ua hōʻike ʻia, ma ke ala o kahi noi Freedom o ka ʻIkepili e ka ʻO Kanada Press, ua lawe ʻo Passport Canada i ka lawelawe ma muli o nā pilikia palekana.
Akā ua ʻōlelo ʻo McMullin ʻo nā pilikia palekana "nā hewa amateur" i hoʻoponopono maʻalahi ʻia.
"Ke kamaʻilio nei mākou i nā 101 hemahema," i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo McMullin, ka mea hoʻokumu o ServicePoint, kahi hui ma Bedford, NS, ka mea loea i ka noi automation workflow.
"Ma mua o ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka pilikia, ua lawe lākou i lalo. ʻAʻole i lawa kā lākou kamaʻilio ʻana, ʻaʻole lākou i streamline i ke kaʻina noi, a ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hoʻi lākou i hope ma ka pūnaewele. Manaʻo wau ʻaʻole nui ka pīhoihoi o ka poʻe Kanada, keu hoʻi i kēia manawa. ”
