    I forget the exact stat, but less than 25% of Americans actually ever leave the country.

      I had an employee who, until she reached the age of 46, had never left the state of Minnesota.
      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

        And for some states like MI where you can just drive to Canada, you can get an enhanced license for 1/3 of the cost of a passport.

          Found a stat - only 12.9% of Americans responding to the survey traveled abroad within the last year, another 8.1% say it's been >1 year since traveling abroad. That's 21% who've left the country.

            That seems incredibly high to me. I wonder what it is if you say "Mexico and Canada don't count"? Also take out nation of origin of parents. For annual, 1%? For lifetime, I dunno, 7%?

              I left the country once in 2018, flew to Quebec City. Prior to that, I last left the US in 2000 for a European vacation.

              I'm willing to bet that the majority of Americans don't leave the US because we are geographically large and diverse - from glaciers to the tropics, you can see experience it all without changing currency. We're 9,629,091 km^2 while all of Europe is roughly 10,180,000 km^2. We have size and convenience, which likely lends to a lot of domestic travel.

                You can spend $100/10 years for a specific document or just use your DL to fly. Since everyone who flies likely has a DL, then use it. Unless you go across a border...

                And given the number of cruisers I know who do not have passports (they are not required for specific cruises), then I can easily see and understand people who do not fly across a border not getting a passport.

                And in the context of this current argument, if a passport is required to vote, that becomes a poll tax for all of us.

                  There are other situations where it is useful to have a passport. I consider it money well spent even though I only leave the country every few years. To each their own I guess.

                    And that's the important part. $100 is a lot of money to most people.

                          No, I get that, however there are people who do like to travel internationally and will very quickly cut into those who choose to travel domestically.

                              Most Nodaks are of the rightful opinion that there's not much to see west of the Badlands or east of the Red. South Dakota has the Corn Palace, but you can see pictures of that online nowadays. Doesn't seem fair to people born and raised elsewhere.
