And if you are anything but lily-white (like 1poorlady), you're more likely to be looked upon with suspicion, even though she has a naturalization certificate, and probably knows more about government than most native-borns (because there was a test she had to pass to get her naturalization). Again, she doesn't carry it on her person at all times...it's in the safe, too.
There’s a young lady in Texas who my ex and I raised. She was born in Louisiana and speaks both English and Vietnamese. Her natural parents were Vietnamese immigrants. We made sure she had a birth certificate that we had to send for, and since then she obtained a US passport. Both are locked in a safe. Her husband is a retired navy veteran. They have two kids; one is in college, the other a junior in high school.
Two days ago, I suggested she might want to keep copies of both her birth certificate and passport on her person or in her purse. She agreed.
What in the hell have we come to as a country?
