Another thing to consider is the recording of a ICE kidnapping where the person said they were a natural born citizen, when asked for proof they didn’t have their birth certificate on them… While in the car… driving to work.
The white paper birth certificate… That in my case is over 50 years old, and embossed with a stamp the clerks office likely got at the local trophy shop. That’s it.
Drivers license including the Real ID ones don’t count it seems.
So, yes. It’s being used to indiscriminately arrest who they want like the Stasi fucks they are.
Usually you need multiple forms of identification, and the birth certificate could count as one, but isn’t required because non-citizens can get a driver’s license if they are here long enough. Someone spending the decade or so going through the slow ass process to get their citizenship needs a driver’s license during that decade.
Not op, but most countries provide an ID that is not a passport. It needs a birth certificate. In my country that ID is far more authoritative than a passport and it even allows ingress to the country in case the passport is lost.
This ID issue is a very US thing. Most governments keep a tight registry of citizens and wouldn’t have any doubt about who is and isn’t a citizen.

Let’s see the citizenship proof of every ICE agent.
Insane that the Real ID ones won’t count when you need a brith certificate to get one.
Do you not need a birth certificate to get a drivers license in the US?

Nor do you in most countries. Generally, a passport is the most authoritative form of identification.
Right but you need a birth certificate to get a US passport dont you?
Yes, because a passport is based on citizenship.

I’d hope Ingress would be allowed in if their birth certificate said they were born there!
Do you travel abroad with your birth certificate on you?
Too poor to travel
You can use a birth certificate but it’s not required, there’s other methods to prove your identity.
That’s no longer true. That’s what the RealID is about.
While there is an option to have a driver’s license as a Real ID, not all driver’s licenses are Real IDs. Not sure the majority are tbh.
