Iroquois Needs US Passport

From Yahoo News:
"US rule could keep Iroquois from lacrosse tourney"

I agree with the US Government in this case. The Iroquois Tribal Nation have a special status within the US (and Canada) but is not a separate country and so the citizens of the Tribal Reservation are also US citizens and thus need a US Passport to re-enter the country. While I do not agree with the law that states that US Citizens coming back into the United States from Canada, Bermuda, Mexico and the Caribbean need a Passport I do think they should have one for the rest of the world (and in this case the United Kingdom.)

I came back from the UK last week and used my Passport so the Iroquois members need to do the same. If they do not recognize themselves as US Citizens then that is their right and they can stay home. It is also the right of the US Government to refuse them entry into the country without a valid US Passport (and the UK's right to refuse them a visa for not having the correct, legal documents.)
