As to 'papers please', if one is pulled over, or stopped at a check point, involved in an accident, purchasing alcohol or tobacco, cashing a check, writing a check, using a credit card in some places, all require the person to provide identification. That doesn't work as a threat anymore. I don't like it, but I understand the necessity.

There are certain things I understand the necessity of. I don't like it, but because people continually violate laws, some method of preventing certain things from getting into minor's hands, or validating that you are who you say you are, is necessary. You continue to have your freedoms, by not participating in the activities that require ID. Of course, the government is doing it's damnedest to eliminate cash, so every transaction can be tracked, dissected, and used against you. I could spend hours dissecting each and every infringement against freedoms and the individual, but to what point? I'd be locked up as the lunatic fringe. But if people need to identify if they are a Citizen or not, it will and does have an impact on the governing body of this country. And THAT, we should have concern for.

The documents validate long-held suspicions among Japanese Americans that information about them collected under confidentiality pledges was released to the government. In 2000, the Census Bureau acknowledged and apologized for its role in sharing aggregate data with the U.S. military to help relocate Japanese Americans from the West Coast to inland camps after Japan's 1941 Pearl Harbor attack....." https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-...s31-story.html Quote:
fact is the census has been misused, and the freedom/privacy sky is falling but we're crazy to mention it or complain. But trusting the gov't by adding more layers on the census invading people's privacy makes us safer? Sorry, i don't see how that follows logically.

![]() Abuse of the census demographic data by the FDR administration is no reason to discontinue gathering the data. ![]() The objection to bringing back a question about citizenship on the census is pure partisan politics on the part of Democrats. Regularizing living in the US illegally is the goal. A more accurate count of illegal aliens makes it less likely the public can be persuaded to go along with blanket amnesty creating a new permanent Democrat majority out of a new permanent underclass. ![]() It goes to show how distorted our political environment has become when asking about citizenship is condemned because it might offend people living here illegally. ![]()

But the census was part and parcel of the constitutional gov't, and the number of slaves were used as a political tool, by north and south. Quote:
it's not a point that should be dismissed lightly. Quote:
That's part of the point, the census has been and is being used as a political tool. As far as the number of "illegal aliens" that is something that should be gathered. but IMO the census shouldn't be the tool to do it. each state should look into and deal with it. and the feds should help deal with it at the southern and NORTHERN boarders. And i have to mention again I've met Illegal aliens from Britain and non Latino countries, but many on the right don't seem to hot and bothered with them or want those people with Non-american accents to produce papers or get out of the country. Again the census has been used over and over to deal with what politicians and national 'purist' of the day considered "other" people.

![]() There are tens of thousands of people living in the US with orders of deportation rendered against them. Trying to find how many illegals live here doesn't increase the likelihood of deportation. Democrats don't want the public to know how many there are so the People will not demand the law be enforced. Please explain how so-called sanctuary states like California are going to be induced to count the number of illegal aliens living in their jurisdiction. They are not. With a sympathetic mother may I judiciary determined to rewrite laws to suit their pleasure there is no way it will get done, but that's the point isn't it. ![]() In case you didn't notice, English, Swedish, Russians, and so forth have accents. We don't get to choose who is illegally crossing our Southern border. If Democrats have their way it's going to be no border, no wall, no USA at all. ![]()
