Imagine life in a place in which you must show your papers to carry out many essential and ordinary tasks in your day — to start the car, or to pump gas, or to buy groceries. Don’t fret, the authorities say, this is simply a public-safety measure; after all, citizens are free to do what they like — so long as they provide the proper documentation.
Such an oppressive regime seems intolerable, impracticable, and out of the question. Americans have a healthy fear of jackboots and Big Brotherism, and the state lacks the sheer manpower to station officers outside of every home.
