Hmm not to discredit this, but how does that work, being detained and having to produce a birth certificate ... does one normally daily carry a birth certificate next to ones ID?
And if you're detained without a a birth certificate while on vacation across the country?
Only ID on you? Go to prison?
No ID nor birth certificate and you'll either get shot or deported?
What if you speak something else than Spanish or English amongst yourselves?
How long 'till the Trump administration mandates a form of ID on ones hand, arm, or forehead?
Lol. The religious nutjobs will really love it when he gives us a choice of the taking the mark (of the beast) or face deportation.
It would be awesome though if we were able to deport all the religious nut jobs. Though not for the places these crazies would be deported to.
Put them on an Ark - wooden, overloaded, cast adrift in the type of weather that would cause massive flooding, if you catch my drift. Of course, gathering two of each animal would be cruel, so we'll skip those.
Someone can bring it, fax it, send a picture, carry a picture? Carrying it seems like a huge risk of accidental loss.
Do you think every US born citizen is going to suddenly carry around a photocopy of their birth certificate everytime they leave their house?
No, that's why I didn't list it. I'm suggesting I don't doubt the veracity of the article because it's just impossible to have access to a birth certificate. That is a simplification of the opinion of the guy I replied to.
If you don't carry your federal ID with you at all times, there is no way to determine your US citizenship. Also, there is no federal ID. And many states issue drivers licenses to undocumented immigrants to avoid issues with unlicensed and uninsured motorists.
immigrants are meant to carry their green card on them at all times. i keep mine with my driving license.
i also keep an album of photographs of my ID on my phone
sure but these were us citizens. i am a citizen. i woild never carry my birth certificate around. what if i lose my wallet? identity theft??
I understand, I was saying that's why they were asked for papers, suspected of being illegal immigrants, not saying they should've had to follow this bullshit
