- "Papers please."
- "Here's my driver's license."
- "Sorry, I need to see a proper passport for international travel. And I need to search your baggage, take your fingerprints and make a biometric scan of your face. Do you have a visa for staying in the US?"
- "What? This is outrageous!"
- "So you're an illegal immigrant, eh?"
- "Illegal? How dare you?"
- "What's this? A gun? Sorry, you need a special permit to bring that into the US."
- "You are violating my 2nd Amendment rights!!!"
- "No, I'm not. Only US-citizens have 2nd Amendment rights. You are an illegal alien with a gun, trying to sneak across the border."
- "You are violating my liberties!!!"
- "What's this? Cash money? Why would you have cash money and gold-coins with you? Is that for some kind of drug-deal? We're gonna have to impound the money under civil forfeiture. Don't worry: You can get it back if you sue us in court."
