  • What document is a proof of American citizenship?

    When an immigrant becomes a citizen of the USA, what does he get instead of his green card?

      Don't they just give you a gun with 'Don't tread on me' engraved on the barrel?

          Only if you're moving to God's Country, like the free states of Virginia and Utah

              So what's the problem with all these voter ID checks, then?

                I (and probably everybody else in the US) need to show proof of citizenship for employment - there's a long list of acceptable documents, but the only part of the list I remember is that your passport is proof of citizenship, or else your driver's license plus your social security card is proof of citizenship.

                Cost. My passport costs about $120 every ten years, my driver's license costs about $60 every eight years. For some people this isn't a pittance.

                  In most states (such as Virginia) you can get IDs for free if you fit into certain wealth brackets, loinburger. However, yes, it actually is a pittance. 12 bucks a year for a passport? $7.50 a year for a driver's license? Come on.

                    True, when you are voting 10, 11 times, the costs scale.

                      The problem comes in when:

                      You don't have a driver's license (for whatever reason)
                      You don't have a birth certificate (for whatever reason)
                      You don't have a social security card (for whatever reason)

                      Could be lost/stolen/etc....

                      But then suddenly proving your identity becomes a time consuming and possible costly affair. It becomes much harder if you can't trace backwards (I think my mom had to help my brother get his birth certificate when he needed one again).

                      Yes, for the person with a car and who holds a job it is easy.... (and if they get stolen, still easy)

                      note you can't legally work without a social security card

                          **** that. Everytime I buy a gun in VA I'm "randomly chosen" for an extended background check. I got dinged for it on a gorram .22LR rifle today. Maybe I'll be able to pick it up tomorrow, maybe it'll be next week.

                            I just know it was difficult for my brother to reacquire it.
