Your Papers, Please

If Duncan Hunter gets his way, I hope you have handy not only your own birth certificate or naturalization paperwork, but your parents' birth certificates or naturalization paperwork, and their parents' birth certificates or naturalization paperwork, and so on, and so on, and so on... I'm sure hoping my great, great, ..., great grandfather who came to Norfolk as an indentured servant in the late 17th century had the right paperwork with him. Otherwise, many of my loved ones and I will soon be loaded up on a boat for merry old England!
