I am american, moreso than most realistically. My family has been texan since before even texas was american. I am brown and have a Latin last name, there's a ton of us the same here in texas. In my family the generation before me was the last that inherited spanish from the family and none are fluent (texmex spanglish at best), at least not without schooling.

This is all to say that my drivers license is on me at all times outside of my house. I carry it everywhere, even on my smoke breaks at work, even when I'm washing my car, even when I'm checking my mail.

I shouldn't be living like this, I don't deserve to live like this, my rights as an American citizen say I should be protected against this, but here we are.

White many-generational American here.

In addition to license, I've always kept passport card and CBP Global Entry at all times.
