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.
