Border agent demands ID from woman in Montana after hearing her speak Spanish
For anyone who wonders why there needs to be a resistance, take a look at this. We are moving toward a society where anyone - at any time - could be required to 'show their papers'. Yes, I know all the arguments over non-citizens. I also recognize scapegoating when I see it. We cannot allow this kind of oversight to become acceptable. Our basic freedoms are at risk, especially if you are a person of colour.
Know your rights. Learn when and under what circumstances you can refuse a request. Be prepared (and willing) to be under arrest for exercising your rights. IT IS WORTH a few hours of inconvenience to STAND UP.
Agree, agree, agree. The government's lust for power and control seems to breed more of the same at the cost of all our civil liberties.
