You can go into the ‘Frontier’ zone of Mexico without much trouble, but to go further, you better bring along your paperwork.

There is a guy in the neighborhood moving to Canada to marry a Canadian, and he had to hire a lawyer to get everything in order. He has to prove he doesn’t owe anything to anyone in the US, as well as all of the normal health, education, criminal etc. questions.

After the War on Drugs™, War on Terror™, and the global financial meltdown, being a citizen of the US is not the guarantee of a warm welcome that it once was.

Though, in that case, it was before FISA and so hadn’t been a court order and they were able to fight it, though it took about 6 years. It also spoke about the 4 Connecticut Librarians that received NSL’s about Internet user’s in Libraries there.

I think people should just stop the farce of calling the USA a ‘Democracy’. It isn’t, and hasn’t been for some time. The only real difference from States like E. Germany is that you (probably) wouldn’t be shot trying to leave (well, except they can stop you getting on a plane. So you’d probably have to go to Canada or Mexico first.)
