There is now a requirement that people show that they are here legally. But now in this legislation. if its adopted. would narrow that. So here is what you would have to take to get someone who wanted to get into section 8: They could show you their passport. The number of really poor people carrying passports is less than you might imagine. Although. I dont know what they might imagine. so I take that back. Or a USCIS photo identification card. Well. if you are a citizen born in the United States. you dont have one. Or a drivers license.
