U.S. legislators on a bi-partisan committee have agreed to extend the deadline of tough new identification measures at the Canada-U.S. border for 17 months.

The delay is included in a funding bill for the Homeland Security Department that authorizes new fencing along the U.S. border with Mexico. It still needs to clear Congress, but observers are optimistic of its passage.

Just a head's up.  The delay is still not a done deal yet and we have to pay close attention because if they fail to pass it, you might want to stay away from the chaos the first of next year until something is in place.  Fortunately the US is lagging behind their new ID schema and I think it may be a few years before they are ready to have a go at it.  Time will tell.
