U.S. Department Of Homeland Security

Dept: The tax on Canadians travelling south, proposed in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security 2014 budget called for a study on the costs to collect a fee from vehicles and pedestrians into the U.S., and to be completed within nine months, according to The Star. I was shocked to see a proposal for a new toll at the northern border and I will fight to put the brakes on this short-sighted fee, Higgins said and A proposed U.S. land border crossing fee for those travelling into that country from Canada, has drawn opposition on both sides of the border. In Canada, the levy has been called misguided and exactly the wrong way to go. But it went relatively unnoticed until U.S. Congressman Brian Higgins D-N.Y. first sounded the alarm late last week.
