Becoming a resident of a state may confer the right to get a driver's license, but it does not and should not confer citizenship.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Whether we start with a provisional status and legal permanent residence... or we set up some other way to assimilate legally, you can't ever put in something that says, 'You can never become a citizen.' That's un-American.
I have never concealed my dual citizenship. People involved in state business should probably declare their dual citizenship if they have it.
Currently, most States do not recognize within their borders concealed carry permits issued in other States.
It's not the physical location of birth that defines citizenship, but whether your parents are citizens, and the express or implied consent to jurisdiction of the sovereign.
In order to represent the state, you've got to be in the state.
Foreigners may be admitted to citizenship by naturalization, either collectively or individually. Collective naturalization may occur when a foreign territory and its inhabitants are transferred to the United States.
Among other things, the Real ID Act sets minimum security criteria that states would have to meet to have their driver's licenses accepted as identification to board a commercial flight or enter federal facilities.
There are still states that have not evolved so much as California, that still skimp on recognition and, even worse, the rights of immigrants.
I do believe that the states have the right to make the definition of marriage, and each state can define it as they so choose through their elected representatives.
It wouldn't matter whether you were Latino or Hispanic or Norwegian. If you didn't have proof of citizenship and if the police officer had reasonable suspicion, he would ask and verify your citizenship. I mean, that's the way that it is. That's what the federal law says. And that's what the law in Arizona says.
