"Noem: U.S. Citizens Should Be Prepared To Show Proof."

Do we have no rights anymore?

“Noem: U.S. Citizens Should Be Prepared To Show Proof.”

Did you vote for a “Show Me Your Papers” 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

in the remote chance they look at the papers, remember the standards of evidence they had for obama's birth certificate.

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

https://tucson.com/news/state-and-regional/article_6af74d7b-3e35-57f5-9ba9-51bff0063839.html

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 Obama’s 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].

That is the smart way to deal with cops. The only place you can't use this statement is when entering the country through a port.


YMMV.
