Once again: Sure, but was that paperwork always technically "in-date"? In America, it's often not (although as far as the
Federal government, who are supposed to control immigration, are concerned, you're stikk in America legally! - it's the Fed's own processing delays after all). And that means...oops, crime under this law. Despite the fact that the Federal government thinks you're a legal immigrant.
It's a situation where you can do everything right in legal immigration terms and still get screwed. And it's an easy fix, which the Governor is refusing to make. (Oh, they said "We won't use it like that". To which my response, as ever, is "well, you'll have no problem changing the wording then")
Honestly, I'm in favour of a low-cost card which acts as proper ID, drivers licence, donor card and carries critical medical warnings and so on. Verifying it's citizens identity *where the citizen requests it* is one of the proper functions of government. There shouldn't be any logging of usage, though.
