"reasonable" to whom? Who decides that? It's a cyclical question that has no answer so why bother attempting to answer it.

That's all. Why would they care if pictures are taken of them? Would the police, should their protestations not sit well with the current politicians, pay them a visit and make them disappear? I'm not making any assumption about how this law will be used, I am reading the law and going from there. Have you read it? Could it be used against me? Nope, while I could be stopped and asked about my legal status but that doesn't concern me. I know that I have a legal right to reside here. > >> Wait, of course you do because that allows you to feed your >> misguided assumptions of America.

Can you? No, you really don't. You are the lone voice screaming in the night about this. I work with a number of individuals that were born in the same regions of South American and NONE of them consider that they were born in America, they all speak of the country in which they were born, regardless of what country that may be. So are, I've had no difficulty communicating with people in American, North American or South America. Are you done with your petty speculation? ::michael _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
