    Literally. Having to show your fucking birth certificate to prove you are a citizen?

    I suppose next they will demand the “long form” birth certificate like they did with Obama. And then they will show it and it won’t matter anyway.

      I’m getting a passport card ASAP. I don’t look Mexican or south American, but I have a Latin surname- And on more than one occasion Latinos have referred to me and to my wife (who also has a Latin surname) as “one of us”- which frankly pleased me. So I’m not taking any chances of some ICE pig deciding to make his quota at our expense.

      People will have to show their parents’ birth certificate too, with his attempts to end birthright citizenship.

      So, no different than the first time?
