What if someone in a government agency just started printing birth certificates and social security cards for everyone? How would anyone know the difference? Like fake IDs on a mass scale.

    Oh, I thought you were pointing out that funding the process so they can get their documents would be the solution, which is true. The whole ‘border crisis’ is a manufactured problem caused by defunding the immigration process, especially for asylum seekers, and capping the number that can immigrate to a ridiculously low number.

    The solution is improving the process so they can be documented.

        Given how the US is detaching itself from the concepts of truth or facts or rules, why not. “Hey is your ID fake”? “Fuck you police officer”. “My bad, have a nice day sir”

    When they talk about illegal immigrants they actually mean brown people.

          In the past, maybe, but I feel like with the current ruling party having all branches of government under their control that they will become more and more blatant and just expect pardons or the USSC to let them off. It’s not like Republicans would actually impeach and remove anyone on their own team.

          Edit: grammar

    For “everyone” meaning…? Part of the whole “undocumented” problem is that theyre un-documented. How can we issue forms for people we don’t even know?

      Advertising? Even if only word-of-mouth.

      It would have to be pretty secretive. But it’s not like there aren’t other services out there that do similar things illegally under cover of anonymity. (Silk Road, anyone?)

    Just a reminder that last time the US pulled this shit, many US citizens were deported to Mexico and nobody with power cared because they were brown.
