So here I sit at the border entrance point.

New York here I come, well that is what I thought.

Papers, they want papers.

I got the papers thing when I renewed my license a few months ago. I'm American born. At least 5 generations on either side of my parents. Documented. Yet our own government doesn't know how it's own system of birth certificates, ssn's, driver's licenses, finger prints, etc. works? Sad when you have to prove your existence based upon a government that provided these type things to begin with before you were born.

It's pathetic when the government does knot know what end is up.

It's pathetic when the government has been upended by crazy hateful bastards like 'Rumpy and Sessions.

I have been met at boarders where the person wants my papers and is armed with a machine gun.

It's pathetic when a so-called "country" doesn't have borders.

You need a passport.
And you are a pedofile.

Actually, it's "pedophile". If you're going to insult someone, get your grammar right.

Trolling?

 

[4yourpleasureiam]

I hate having to show a passport when I go to Spain and Ireland and mexico and any other country I travel to. What is up with those places, wanting Americans to show papers. Hell, in some of them you have to show your papers to anyone who asks.

Why don't they just ask to see my panties and be happy with that.

I made the mistake of driving an SUV over the border at Buffalo NY to Fort Erie Canada to purchase sweet sweet inexpensive Canadian prescription drugs.

Took me about an hour. Canadian border control asked how long I'd been in Canada. Told them an hour. "Please pull into this lane sir!".

Next thing I know I have Her Majesty's RCMP in black flak jackets walking three German Shepherd drug dogs around my car.

Trolling?

For license renewal in my state, we are now required to submit a certified copy of birth certificate in addition to the fingerprinted state license/ID and SS card. Another nickel and dime $5 admin charge in your county of birth or home of record. Or whatever that county charges. That's millions of people in my state alone. So a simple few minutes or so in line to renew it could become a day long fiasco of traveling to your county of birth for many people. The only upside is that I don't have to renew for 8 years. I'm sure some insurance company or new state law will find a way to fuck up that once simplistic process even more.

It was even more difficult for my 73 yr old mother, who can still drive just fine. Her original birth certificate was destroyed in a fire at a county records (different than mine) office in the 70s. It took about 3 months to remedy her situation.

I don't get it...the Canadians stop you on the way in and maybe ask how long you plan on staying. On the way out the Americans stop you and ask how long you been there.

Either way both sets of guards practice intimidation and the computer picks randoms to fuck with...you just got lucky

Imagine the confusion if there had been a time zone difference.
