Who is "we"? Non-citizens of the USA are required to carry their immigration status documents with them, [1] and checkpoints within the 100-mile border zone (where 2/3 of the population lives [2]) are one place where they must be presented. If you are a US citizen without proof, and are stopped, and the official thinks you are lying, I believe you are going to have A Bad Day.

- AdrianB1 7y agoWell, in most cases "we" means the permanent legal inhabitants, not tourists. Legislation is not created by tourists.
