Yes you can lol. Citizenship records exist. Visa records exist.
Can you determine if someone has a drivers license without a trial?
@FreedomAdvocate if I were law enforcement I probably could establish whether you had a driver's licence, but who's making me do it? If I tried to put you in jail for driving without a licence, even though you had a licence that I didn't check, what's your recourse?
So your argument is that they disregard procedures, and your solution to this is…… procedures?
@FreedomAdvocate What's the process to make sure those get checked before you get punished for being there? I say "you" on purpose - if I said "freedom advocate is here illegally! Take them!" and they believed me and threw you in the back of a van, what would you expect to happen at that point? Who would you speak to? How? How would you make sure they did what needed to be done to establish *your* legality? How would you make them check your papers?
They wouldn’t punish me in the first place because they’d have checked their records and seen that I am a citizen. No one is just being rounded up on an allegation and deported. No citizens have been deported.
You’re saying that they don’t follow procedures, and your solution is……procedures?
