Out of curiosity, how are you going to do that? Do you have citizenship papers or just a regular old birth certificate that you are going to drag in?

It is really simple. I had to produce proof of citizenship in order to get my driver's license. The "proof" doesn't come to the polling place but is required before the voter registration card is issued. That gives everybody lots of time to work through any problems.

I figure if it is good enough for a DL, it is good enough for voter registration, too.

That the police were systemically going into Hispanic neighborhoods in coordinated raids and stopping people on minor traffic issues for the sole reason of then being able to check their immigration papers. The counterargument was how successful they were in finding illegal immigrants in doing so.
