Should minorities carry their passports/identification?

[Anonymous]

I'm taking my son and his friend to Busch Gardens this weekend and the friend's mom let me know that he'll have his passport with him in a waterproof lanyard. Like the kind people buy for their cellphones. She said she's had both of her kids carry theirs daily in lanyards.

She asked if I was having my son carry his...and I haven't been, but maybe I should. We are of Italian heritage, so he's got the olive complexion and dark hair.

So sad that this is now America. The kids were born here! Their parents were born here!

I’m white, but could also look vaguely “Mediterranean”; like some people of English ancestry, I tan easily, while others in my family don’t tan at all. I carry my passport at all times now, with one of those secure cases. My family as well. It’s a new era for better or worse. No one wants to be detained for any length of time, so best to be proactive. I’ve read about unfortunate stories in the WaPo and Guardian that could have been prevented with proof of citizenship.

I always take ID.

If you routinely leave home without ID, why?

If you get in an accident, have a medical emergency, or are a victim of a crime, why do you not want to have your ID with you?

If you don’t, why not? You want to be unable to be identified and unable to have authorities contact your loved ones?

An id is not your passport. Stop bring fake naive

That should be in a safe deposit box somewhere. Not going to Busch Gardens

Green Card holders must legally carry their documentation.


U.S. law requires green card holders to carry their Green Card (Form I-551) with them at all times. Specifically, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) Section 264(e) states that every alien aged 18 and over must carry this card or alien registration receipt card "at all times". Failure to do so can result in fines or even imprisonment.

Hmmmm.

Hmmmm.

The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), passed in 1952, is the foundational law governing U.S. immigration and nationality.


These racist b@stards require people to carry papers, just like Hortler did!

DP. Good point. You should bring a copy of your passport and a picture of it on your phone. Any ID or papers on you when arrested can be “misplaced” or destroyed because it is thought to be fake(that will get you charged). These DHS agents and privates in the US military have quote us to make.

You need to have access to your ID and papers at all times specially in a blue state even if you are an old fat white guy!

Deport anyone here illegally, much to the hysterical dismay of democrats.

You say that but people who are US citizens have been deported and placed in a prison in El Salvador for over 3 months. Once you are out of the country and in a prison you are out of luck. ICE was trying to do that to the NJ mayor that got arrested. The judge stopped it.

Name them.

Do you even hear yourself? ICE is detaining people here for 20+ years. They detained a 17yo who arrived with he was 5. Whatever Biden did does not mean that you have to rough up pregnant women and teenagers. Please.

"Detain" is vague word and something law enforcement has always been charged to do.

Be more specific.

I am nervous because I was not born here but am a naturalized citizen. I am out with my kids alone a lot. I sincerely cannot imagine what would happen if ICE took me and just left my young kids to fend for themselves.

If you believe this is a risk, also yourself why you think it's OK that it happens to other people but not you as long as you can show the lawman that you are one of the "good ones".

That's you. We're not required to carry ID while walking in this country.

I grew up overseas (foreign service family) and none of us carried our passports at all times.

FYI law enforcement always has the right to detain you in order to ascertain your identity, if they have reasonable suspicion of anything.

They can't randomly stop you and demand ID, but they if they can articulate any reason that you might be someone they are looking to bring in, they can hold you until you prove you are not who they suspect you are.

Because I go for walks and runs, I bike places. I don't need ID unless I am driving or getting on an airplane. This is the effing USA, not soviet Russia.

And ICE going into a Home Depot and detaining people without cause is contrary to what you just asserted. See the problem?

So if you get hit by a car, or have a heart attack, while walking or running or biking, how do you expect the hospital to contact your loved ones?

They won’t know who you are and you could be unconscious, in a coma, etc.
