I am Asian-American, yes...I speak English.... its my first language and Japanese is my second language and yes I was born here. I am sick of telling people all my life that I am not a Foreigner nor a visitor...and now with Trump in office, its even more difficult. How many forms of I-D do I need to prove I was born in the United States? I have a Calfornia driver's licence and a Passport that states I was born in the United States. I also have an state Birth certificate and a Social Security number...
