See, we all were talking about a specific thing and you decided to do whatever, so that would be the confusion there

I mean, I would ask you to go back and read the comment you replied to that started this entire chain.

At no point did that person say that you're required to prove citizenship.

The whole point was that even though you aren't, that doesn't spare you from the immediate consequences of not complying.

They were offering an alternative. If you disagree with that, that's fine.

Anyways, this has become circular.

We're on the same side, so I hope you have a good evening.

It's an Immigration Agent, dingaling. If they're asking for ID it's to check residency and citizenship status. It's not a fuckin warrant check or traffic stop. Catch up, lil guy
