    I’m getting a passport card ASAP. I don’t look Mexican or south American, but I have a Latin surname- And on more than one occasion Latinos have referred to me and to my wife (who also has a Latin surname) as “one of us”- which frankly pleased me. So I’m not taking any chances of some ICE pig deciding to make his quota at our expense.

      I wouldn’t say don’t do it, because you never know, but all it takes is for an asshole cop to “lose” your ID and you’re still fucked. That is one of my big worries and how I think a lot of citizens will end up “detained,” if not just deported.
