I surely hope we don’t need a passport if we were born here…’cause a lot of us don’t have one

come to think of it, I m not sure my mother or her family had passports either, and they were French Canadian. Maybe back then in the 30s you didn’t need one or maybe didn’t need to keep it once you got here…?

Hi Judy. I understand. In the military I had a red passport which was internation and meant I was secured by the US military, in other words don’t fuck with me. But when I got back to the states I did not understand the importance of a passport. So I let all mine expire. I really wish I had not. Now Ron and I as a gay married same sex couple in Florida are trying to find the money to get two passports at over $200 apiece. The only good thing for us is that my adopting abusive parents were Canadian. That gives me the right to seek asylum in Canada and bring my spouse with me. Hugs.
