The
Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative is a result of the Intelligence Reform and
Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA), requiring all travelers to present a passport or
other document that denotes identity and citizenship when entering the U.S.
The
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on February 22 its intent to
propose, as part of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the Western Hemisphere
Travel Initiative (WHTI), significant flexibility regarding travel documents
required for U.S. and Canadian children as part of WHTI requirements for U.S.
land and sea border entry in 2008.
The
goal of the initiative is to strengthen U.S. border security while facilitating
entry for U.S. citizens and legitimate foreign visitors by providing
standardized documentation that enables the Department of Homeland Security to
quickly and reliably identify a traveler.
