Really? Wow, I’m glad I didn’t have to jump through those hoops.
The only time I had to show ID was to get my daughter’s social security card. And that was only because the hospital administrator who submitted the paperwork misspelled my daughter’s name, which created a mismatch between the social security paperwork and her birth certificate. Took about three months, and four visits to various offices, to get everything sorted out.
I am glad they do this, actually. I don’t want the produce of unsubstantiated people getting a birth certificate that will allow them to get an official US Passport.
The more difficult and exhausting we make it for these illegals to exist here, the better.
The new drivers license requirements here in Georgia now are extensive with multiple forms of ID and proof of residence required - even for renewals! I was more than glad to comply if it keeps some effing little Jose from staying here in my state.
