David
Just one thought from a family lawyer who is on your list and whose  
clients
include the very poor:
Making the comment "you're traveling abroad - you can't afford the extra
fee?" would seem rational to make to IPers but, like the poll tax to  
vote,
creates different burdens on different constituencies.

I ask that the author of the above comment and all those that read and
agreed consider that the very poorest Americans who travel to see  
relatives
across the border several times each year are more heavily burdened in  
the
same way that the very poorest Americans are more heavily burdened by  
the
new voter ID charges [akin to the old poll tax].
