(7,753 posts)But the only time my brother has been out of country was a high school Band trip to Ontario! He didn't even cross the border for shopping and exploration when I lived near Nuevo Laredo. He DID manage to go to the beach at Corpus, tho... (gryn). Seriously, there's a ton of people who not only don't have passports, but have never been out of this country once. I think that's one of the reasons they're so screwed up when it comes to immigrants... they've never met someone who didn't look and act just like them, so of course they're suspicious of everyone now that they're adults.
I don't have a passport... but I'm a Veteran, and I've made several trips across the borders of our abutting countries, at least. Never was rich enough to go anywhere else, tho... much to my sorrow.
