  • I like to ask people who want to be tough on immigration, if you were arrested right now and accused of not being a citizen could you prove that you are?

    Address, Drivers License, SSN? Non citizens can have all of those. A passport should work if you have one, but if you don’t have it on you, you might be detained for a long time before you can get it and prove your citizenship.

    Now, under the EO even having your birth certificate won’t cut it. You’d need to prove one of your parents was a citizen. So what? We’re all going to walk around with a family tree of birth certificates?
