>>The deadline for needing passports for land crossings from Canada and Mexico has been pushed back one year.
>>The move came as part of a package of border-related laws that President Bush signed while in Arizona Wednesday.
>>Jared Peterson, a spokesman for the Border Trade Alliance in Phoenix, said the delay will give more time for the government and >the public to understand the implications of the delay.
>>"They are going to get a little bit of extra time to get prepared for when the changes go into effect," Peterson said.
>>The delay changed the deadline from Jan. 1, 2008, to June 1, 2009, for requiring passports or other approved identification for >>persons entering the United States at border U.S. ports of entry.
