Jim, I would love to have been a fly on the wall during the exchanges between Mayor Cortez and the INS. I have no doubt that it would have been a ready-made, most hilarious comedy skit.

Your points are well taken. To We the People of the United States of America, "Show us your papers" is anathema.

FWIW, I have not seen my birth certificate in decades. Sure, I can send off for a certified copy, but who is to say I am the person requesting it and having a right to that document?

On another note, I had occasion to request a duplicate Social Security card several years ago. I was astonished at how quickly the local office produced the duplicate and how much information from the original application (which I had submitted long ago and far away in the previous century) that agency currently still had on file. - Holly
