That's not true. If an American citizen is stopped and asked for their
green card, or any form of identification as a legal resident, other
than a driver's license, they have something to be concerned about.
Their family could have lived in the same place for 10 generations, but
still speak Spanish and not be carrying their birth certificate.

In those cases, and they *have* happened, the person involved could very
well be quite inconvenienced and subjected to harassment and humiliation
for the crime of Driving While Brown.

IT HAPPENS. This isn't theoretical.

You won't get it.

So their family has been in The United States for generations and still
not been assimilated into American society? Humm, sounds a bit odd. o_O

It's no surprise at all. Cajuns just started assimilating recently.
There's no law that requires Americans to mangle the English language.
We are free to mangle any language.


My Yankee relatives are so much fun when they visit The South here in
Alabamastan. It's so entertaining to be from a multi-species family. ^_^
