So if you can't pull the document out of your purse the first time you are asked, any documents in process with the government (which was the case, through 2009) or back in your car, or at home in a drawer are automatically rendered obsolete. Right? Admit it: it wouldn't matter to you if she drove to your house and showed you her papers today - you'd still say that she's "illegal" because she didn't have the papers in process to show Dale Young on that day at that moment. Correct?

Do you really believe all people are guilty until proving innocent? And that they only have that one initial opportunity to prove that innocence. If ever a loved one of yours is falsely accused of something, may they not be met with that same philosophy.

Your raving that she IS illegal is to distract from the fact that NO ONE SHOULD HAVE ASKED HER FOR IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. It was utterly irrelevant in the circumstance she was in.

We'd be having this discussion if she was illegal, too. She went in there for a divorce and an order of protection and left with neither, because the judge refused to serve "illegals." This case is about immigrants having a right to their day in court regardless of their status.

Her legal status has been proven to my satisfaction - not that it is any of my business.

How about her renewal application for the TPS program? How about a letter from her immigration lawyer explaining the TPS program and stating that Ms. Calixto has kept her status current since she entered the program. How about her current card which is good until 2009. Naw none of these papers will prove anything to you.
All these brown skinned people just got to be illegal, right? I bet you got some ideas about black people also. Do all black people dance well, Lester?
When I need to prove Tennessee residency I will show a rent receipt, utility reciept, bank statement, driver's license and such. I am a white woman who says ya'll just right so nobody questions my residency. Is there a different standard for people of color or maybe with a little yankee in their tone of voice.
This whole ordeal is making a laughing stock out of Blount County. We are looking like a county full of redneck KKK flag waving morons.
As for her paperwork for the Order of protection, Ana was assisted by one of the city's Spanish speaking officers. Are you suggessting that this officer did not understand how to fill out a legal form? If he's speaking that thar Spanish he may not be too bright, huh?
Oh Lester, what happened to the days when we could keep the black folk over in Alcoa (oh you remember what everybody called that area), there were no Hispanics, and nobody questioned anything the government did? White power, just say it! We know you want to...
