...other citizen on this earth. The easiest way to learn this is to posses both U.S. and Guatemalan passports.

My U.S. passport stopped the shoves of Mexican officials on my trip, and my U.S. passport could have saved me from having my money taken by smugglers. Perhaps the saddest thing of all is that the Guatemalan government cares more about my safety and well-being as a U.S. citizen than as a Guatemalan citizen. These inequalities...

Under the banner of homeland security, the White House plans to seek more funding for an extremely visible enforcement crackdown at the Mexican border, including a beefed-up force of agents patrolling on all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). "It'll be more guys with guns and badges," said a proponent of the plan. "Think of the visuals. The President can go down and meet with the new recruits. He can go down to the border and meet with a bunch...
