- FireBeyond 2y agoThe irony with that is that if someone undocumented wanted to leave the country, this requirement could potentially hinder that. I also don't really want to have to carry my green card around everywhere. Just one more thing that can be lost.

I did it involuntarily because I forgot my wallet once, and decided “well, I’ll either get through and in my way, or I’m too late to drive home anyway and will miss” - and it worked fine. Even crossed back into the USA without my passport a few times. Just additional screening and bitching is all (at least if you’re a US citizen; membership in the Empire has its perks!).
