    Mom kinda thinks like this. I told her that no one should even be asked to prove their identity like that in public. She’d be more firmly on the right if my father isn’t tempering her.

      My retort to a lot of these people is to ask if they can prove their citizenship right now, on the spot.

      They can’t.

        And like even if you could, do you really think that after handing over your passport/social security card/birth certificate that you still could?

        I believe they will take your “papers” and lose them with a quickness.

      My parents are reversed, with my mom tempering my dad’s conservatism. But it’s the same basic idea. My mom and I will be discussing whatever Government Atrocity of the WeekTM is making the news cycle, and my dad will basically go “good, I hope it sucks for {victim}. If they don’t like it, they can leave.”

      Gee, and you wonder why I don’t ever want to hang out…
