As there are three definitions of "United States" that they try to play "turn of phrase" with, is not one of the more legitimate definitions of "United States" charged with the duty to secure the national border and ensure people do not pass without being documented? As much as I see a passport as pointless for visiting Canada or Mexico, we'd still require one when entering a foreign nation that wants you to have one to visit them, right?

Then I stand corrected.
But please link that for us to read. I may be wrong; but I am under the impression that for the few exceptions Shoonra has listed here, US Passports are for US citizens pursuant to the Fourteenth Amendment.

David Merrill.
