The point is that this is not the Soviet Union. If some s.o.b. walked up to me and asked me out of the clear blue for my papers, I'd tell him to go straight to hell....

Ok, you do that. the next time a cop pulls you over on a traffic stop, tell him where to go. And don't forget to include that he's an S.O.B.

What I described and what you described are two entirely different situations. If a group of border patrol people come into a restaurant and ask me for my green card or passport/id, I will certainly tell them no. Depending on their attitude, I'd tell them to go to hell.
