You have to wonder. Last fall we picked up passport applications at the post office for two of my younger kids. The oldest recently expressed an interest in a passport so I stopped back at the post office and it turns out there is a new policy for all post offices in the area. There are a limited number of passport applications available every month, and you have to make an appointment at the post office just to pick it up the application.

Seems like our government is making it easier for illegals to sneak into this country than American citizens to get out with a passport.

This seems as though this is right out of the old Iron Curtain's playbook. Sad.

I may be mistaken but I think you can get the applications on line at the State Department website.
