Minnesota has sanctuary cities. And Somali immigrants! Oooh - they must have illegal immigrants everywhere! Um, they’re at least a third the way down the list. Florida reportedly has order of magnitude higher.

I will politely disagree. Look at what the other side attacks. Minnesota’s fraud scandal was in the millions. What happened? ICE! Blame the governor. Federal money withheld.
Conveniently ignoring the $3B to $3T entitlement fraud.

Or typos. Fifty years ago things may have been a bit more loose. I’m don’t think anyone I served had everything they needed on the first try.
Side note: we asked if they would like materials sent to them. The number of people that said no still haunts me. This was during Trump 1

Certified copies of a birth certificate from out of state or even out of country. I know lots of people who go by their middle name, but if that is what shows up on things like their DL, and it doesn’t match their birth certificate, nope.

After a layoff, I spent a year at motor vehicles issuing drivers licenses. There are some people for whom it Is IMPOSSIBLE to meet the requirements! For woman in particular, having to show proof of EVERY name change. Name change after a divorce decades ago?
