I love "Lame Phil" Bredesen's comment about "not completely documented". A native born citizen needs documents up the wazoo, but not an illegal. I doubt if the documents they provide to the state would pass the requirements for some "rent to own" furniture store. Hell, my 15 year-old son can't get a learner's permit without a certified true copy of his birth certificate. On the other hand, it seems we have state police officers with criminal records, so it's just Tennessee politics as usual.
No kidding.
Basically any scrape of paper with a name and an address, plus this "affidavit" and, presto, you are now "documented".
