14. The sad part is...

This is going to get worse.

I get the impression that there will be ICE (name your other entity) in front of stores checking documentation.

There is a famous film from the late 1930s where a woman tried to bypass a Brown Shirt in front of a Jewish-owned store.
She and her husband set the thing up. He filmed her looking in the window, and as she tried to enter the store, the Brown Shirt physically blocked her. You can't hear the discussion, but the film speaks volumes.

This is sickening.
