âNoem: U.S. Citizens Should Be Prepared To Show Proof.â

Did you vote for a âShow Me Your Papersâ society?
And the grim irony is that carrying your papers isn't enough either. Multiple reports have confirmed the ICE practice of rounding up people in groups and ignoring their offers to show their papers on the spot, then holding them for hours or days or even transporting them to distant places. /2

you may remember that this sheriff joe character was hired by trump to volunteer to travel to hawaii to discredit obama's birth certificate........

and, of course, trump has absolute proof.....
Donald Trump amplified and sustained the birther claim that Barack Obama was not born in the United States by repeatedly pointing to supposed irregularities in the birth documentation, citing anonymous tips and the idea that only a long-form certificate would be valid; he publicly asserted an extremely credible source told him the certificate was fraudulent and pressed for forensic review even after Obama released a long-form certificate in 2011 [1] [2] [3]. Those assertions were repeatedly debunked by contemporaneous records, by Hawaii officials who confirmed the state held Obamas original birth record, and by journalists and fact-checkers who showed no credible evidence of forgery or of the claim that Hillary Clinton started the movement [4] [5] [6].

YMMV.
