Slippery slope....
Is there a law compelling me to state “I am an American” or “I am here on a visa”?
Heck, I don’t have to say a word to them. They can Mirandize me and I will sit around on my 5th amdnt.
There are 30,000 Irish people here illegally, more Chinese, some Canadian, some Australian, etc. Will they be compelled to pull out some special I.D.? How will an office NOT KNOW whether or not that person is here illegally?
Why shouldn’t Americans have to prove they are here legally and are citizens.
Oops, Barry hasn’t been to forthcoming on his identity.
Again, how do you legitimize someone being here when they are here illegally in the first place. You can’t.
Your argument isn’t quite making sense to me. Illegals can’t pull out a special ID. Those here legally can (green cards, visas, etc.) Those who are here illegally cannot, and should not, be legitimized. They should be deported. Americans have ID that can be verified. Yes, some illegals will have false documents that pass scrutiny, but most do not, because the .gov hasn’t really cared about it... until AZ decided to.
Please don’t tell me you are for open borders!
