“Not being able to obtain a passport confers upon you a kind of second class citizenship.”
Interesting. I didn’t know that since I haven’t been in our country for about 7 years.
It is true. I know the propaganda says that everyone is treated the same at airports but the fact is that if you have a passport you save a bunch of time answering stupid questions. A passport is also awesome when you need ID at a bank or in similar situations and what’s bets about it is that none of the numbers on a passport link to your financial identity the same as your driver’s license number does. So if someone copies your passport numbers they really don’t have anything. So I use it all the time instead of my driver’s license when I need ID.
