It's like old Sheriff Joe Arpio is running Texas these days.

'Papers? I must see YOUR PAPERS or off to jail you go'

This TX stunt was just like the one tried in parts of AZ not long ago. Nothing but an attempt to intimidate Hispanic people, most of them whose families have been here LEGALLY, IOW native born Americans, a couple hundred years, into staying off the streets and far away from any places where they are allowed to vote.
