It could get you detained, especially in Canadian bordering states

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/14/us/b ... oBsKtpZx8U
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on Thursday against United States Customs and Border Protection on behalf of two American women who were stopped last spring in a small Montana city by a border agent who said he was asking for their identification because he heard them speaking Spanish.

The border agent, identified in the lawsuit as Paul A. O’Neal, stopped the women, Ana Suda and Martha Hernandez, inside a convenience store in Havre, Mont., late on May 16, 2018.

The lawsuit alleges that he commented on Ms. Hernandez’s accent, calling it “very strong,” and then asked where they were born. Ms. Hernandez was born in California and Ms. Suda in Texas, the A.C.L.U. said.

When the women expressed shock at the agent’s question, he told them he was “dead serious” and asked to see their identification, the lawsuit alleges.

America is a melting pot, so many cultures and languages exist here. How stupid is it that they were detained over that.

They were probably anchor babies at some point.

Unless you are the offspring of an American Indian, you might also be an anchor baby!

Stupid and bigoted.
It’s obvious that bigots are really stupid, uneducated morons. They live in a little bubble, afraid of foreigners and anyone who isn’t just like them.
