Alarming new passport laws are being snuck through Congress

ALARMING NEW PASSPORT LAWS ARE BEING SNUCK THROUGH CONGRESS  RIGHT NOW!

Just the other day we wrote about HR 237,  a U.S. House “suspension” bill that would give the Secretary of State the authority to cancel your passport if he decided that you had “aided” an organization that he rules is terrorist.

There is no definition of what “aided” means, no chance to dispute the Secretary’s decision, no trial or presentation of evidence, and in fact any evidence the government has can be classified as secret so that you may not see it. ( https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/hr237 )

In effect the Secretary of State can unilaterally consign you to internal exile and there is nothing you can do about it.

Because Members of the U.S. House were too cowardly to go on record voting for such an anti-American piece of legislation, the bill passed by a voice vote.

Today the U.S. Senate plans to one-up its counterparts on the lowlier side of Capitol Hill. Buried inside the U.S. highways funding bill is a provision to revoke or deny issuance of a U.S. passport to anyone who has a large outstanding tax debt to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.  
According to a Senate Finance Committee summary (PDF) acquired today, the measure provides for:

Revocation or denial of passport in case of certain unpaid taxes. This provision would authorize the 'federal government' to deny the application for a passport when an individual has more than $50,000 (indexed for inflation) of unpaid federal taxes which the IRS is collecting through enforcement action. It would also permit the 'federal government' to revoke a passport for such individuals. 

Before revocation, however, the 'federal government' would be allowed to limit a previously issued passport only for return travel to the United States or to issue a limited passport that only permits return travel to the United States. The provision would be effective on January 1, 2016, and is estimated to raise $0.398 billion over 10 years.

As can be seen from the summary, this measure threatening to imprison Americans within (or outside) U.S. borders is simply viewed as a means by which to raise revenue. The hoped-for increase in revenue coming from this threat is considered an “offset” to the money being spent on the highway bill — in other words the threat to imprison US citizens within their own country or freeze them out is considered appropriate incentive to force them to pay what the 'government' claims it is owed.

Unconvinced that the 'US government' would do such a thing? Check the bill coming to the Senate Floor. Section 52102 of the Highway Funding bill, to be taken up by the Senate today, states:   

If the 'Secretary' receives certification by the 'Commissioner of Internal Revenue' that any individual has a seriously delinquent tax debt in an amount in excess of $50,000, the 'Secretary' shall transmit such certification to the 'Secretary of State' for action with respect to denial, revocation, or limitation of a passport pursuant to section 52102(d) of the Transportation Funding Act of 2015.

Tax “deadbeats” will be either denied entry into the United States or forbidden from leaving the United States. The use of citizenship rights as a weapon against Americans is becoming increasingly common as Washington is ever more desperate for control of its passport holders.

The last time Ron Paul ran for 'president', the mainstream media ridiculed him for claiming that U.S. government’s border control strategy is most likely designed to keep Americans from leaving the country rather than to keep illegals from entering. 

These two measures within a week’s time pretty clearly confirm what was once laughed off as a “paranoid” view that the 'U.S. government' was building a virtual Berlin Wall to keep its citizens from departing.

Perhaps that is why this year a record number of Americans are renouncing their passports and getting out of the country… while they still can.
