Comment on YSK: Do you have documents to prove you are a US citizen? If not, here's how

I keep mine in my work backpack at all times. That bag sits next to my desk when I work at home, next to my person when I’m in the office, and converts to my go back when I go on vacation. It’s with me almost always. I’m a white guy who can trace his family back to ellis island, so my risk is significantly lower that many others, but I’m also very outwardly critical of Nazis, so it’s not no risk.

Im not sure having it on you is the best way to go unless you have two.

  This is why a passport card is so awesome. Only Costs $30 on top of the passport fee, you can easily keep it on your person, and if ICE confiscates it because “we think it’s fake” you have your actual passport at home that your lawyer can bring to the facility to get you out, once he finds you.

    I hadn’t heard of this and now I need to look into it.

  It’s rarely actually on me, but it in the same general location that I’m in in case I need it, but I agree with you

Personally, I would rather just get fucked up by ICE rather than comply with the “papers please” state. Who knows, maybe I’ll even end up in the news.

  I’m sure as shit never unlocking my phone if asked, but I’ll show ID if requested in official capacity. If an unmarked person asks, I’ll tell them exactly where they can shove their request.

There. Your great grandpa made a spelling mistake on his citizenship application. Off to El Salvador you go!

  At least if they were to send me to my country of origin, or that if my ancestors, it’d be Germany or Ireland. But we know it would be El Salvador, or the new concentration camp, Alligator Auschwitz.

    If they tried to send me to my country of ancestry, it no longer exists
