USA Today: Trump wants to revive ‘alien registration’ for immigrants. Advocates say no.

Another incredibly stupid idea from King Donald and his band of sycophants. This would only cause hassles and an un-American “Papers, please!” society for legal immigrants who aren’t exempted. Illegal immigrants won’t bother to register.

  • Immigrant advocates filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over a revived “alien registration” law requiring immigrants to register with the government or face criminal prosecution.
  • The lawsuit argues that the rule would create a “show me your papers” environment and expose non-citizens, including legal residents, to potential criminal charges.
  • The rule, set to take effect on April 11, mandates non-citizens carry proof of registration or face fines and imprisonment, raising concerns about potential discrimination and harassment.
