Carry your green card?

One of the best things about the US is that we don't have checkpoints all over that you have to stop and show ID. Those days may be over soon if states start passing thier own immigration laws. They may start setting up checkpoints that require proof of legal status or citizenship.

Very good idea, the sooner we get border check points set up on the Oregon/California border the better. Stop them pesky Californians moving up here and inflating our house prices.

OMG! I had no idea that LPRs had to carry the GC with them at all times. I thought that if they got stopped, whomever had authority to ask for it, would also have access to check to verify their status.

Its funny how a replacement costs $400, but the fee for not carrying it around is only $100.

This land of the free, is sooo becoming not free, they control your every move, they spy on you, and now the stupid identity chips for USCs will be the next step. Thank goodness we all have another country to bounce to, in case it gets to crazy here (provided those that want to )

I'm with you Athena on this - if it gets as bad here, as it very well may, I'll move to my husband's country.

It is only a matter of time before local authorities start hassling citizens and legal immigrants more and more because of racism. Our children that have one parent that is a legal immigrant are at risk of having to prove their citizenship only because they look hispanic or asian or whatever. One of the best things about the US is that we don't have checkpoints all over that you have to stop and show ID. Those days may be over soon if states start passing thier own immigration laws. They may start setting up checkpoints that require proof of legal status or citizenship. We are getting closer and closer to seeing laws like this start to be introduced by states if things continue the way they are going.

I am all for securing our borders and verifying employment but why do we have to enable witch huts by passing laws in states that allow people to do these types of things. It will have to get worse before anything will be done to make it better.
