A drivers license is NOT > proof of US citizenship. An aside-story. My wife is Canadian and went to visit her folks with our son who was about 4 at the time. On return to the NY she was well prepared to deal with US Immigration for herself, i.e. she had her Green Card. They then asked about Jason, i.e. what citizenship? She said US (he was born in Manhattan). They then asked for his birth certificate, which she did not have. She never did prove his citizenship. Jason by this time had to go to the toilet quite badly while Donna hassled with the official at the Immigration desk. She finally pointed to Jason and said "I think you may want to make a quick decision on this or you are going to have quite a puddle on the floor." The official looked at Jason who by this time was jumping up and own trying to hold it as kids do. The official relented and waved them pass. :-) ralph diaz *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
