"Papers, Please! Why It's Not Even Vaguely Wrong To Ask Legal Immigrants To Carry Proof Of Their Right To Live In America."
VDARE.com veteran James Fulford has written a powerful article over at White Papers
(I thought I had succeeded in restacking this fine article from White Papers last night, but apparently not, so I’m trying again as a Post. It’s Paul Kersey’s fault for keeping us up to late on his X Space)
James Fulford was my indispensable chief lieutenant at vdare.com until we were forced to suspend last year because of NY AG Letitia James’ mugging (STILL no charges, just ruinous “investigation.”)
The point James makes here is devastating to Regime Media sob-story coverage of Trump immigration enforcement: non-citizen immigrants ALREADY have to carry ID, in the shape of the famous “Green Card.” (You used also to have to tell the U.S. government where you were living every year, but that was inexplicably dropped in the Carter years).
I am indescribably bitter that I have been prevented from posting this fine article on VDARE.

I'm in Korea. I can be asked to show my card by police anytime, no reason required. It's never happened to me. But in Japan, with the same rules, foreigners are asked, just waiting for a subway. Things I'll note: you can't open a bank account without one (and one account is registered with the government to do foreign exchange), you can't get a job without one, hard to get a phone number without one (and only one cell phone number per foreigner allowed). You must register your address, it's on the back, and if moving, register the change within two weeks. Also big difference (in Korea, China, Japan), there's an immigration control on exiting the country - if you overstay a visa, you'll get trapped inside unless you paid the fine $100 per day of overstaying, and risk a ban on reentry.
