Show me your papers. If you are an American citizen, what papers?

 "Show me your papers." ICE should not demand of anyone in what we once had a democracy. Videos of show American citizens are being snatched and brutally taken down if they look like a migrant. ICE does not even pause to ask first.. They just throw their suspect n to the ground, dragged and cuffed by a masked paramilitary. So, what papers should American citizens carry with them? We do not have a national ID card. Drivers license and SSI cards are not proof. Should all Americans have to carry their birth certificates around? Only a small percent of Americans have passports, and migrants with green cards have some evidence of legality, but what about the rest of us? Heaven help you if you do not look Anglo and have an accent. There is a history here of show me your papers laws. SB 1070 at the Supreme Court: What's at Stake | American Civil Liberties Union
