First the police may not even ask this question because he is Mexican the police assume he is illegal and from Mexico. He makes a 6 fiqure income. We are well respected citizens of the community as far as we're concerned. In fact we're Very Important.
We intend to file a lawsuit asking for 1 million dollars for direct Voliation of his Civil rights.Any other Hispaincs ever encounter this ?

Very important, eh? In whose eyes would that be then? Apart from that, I have blonde hair and fair complexion, and I have been asked on a few occasions where I was born, and if I'm an American citizen ... and why not? I don't consider it racial profiling, nor do I get upset about it ... I'm American and can prove it ... so what's the problem?? Would you rather any amount of terrorists sneak by just because the police are not allowed to ask Very Important People where they were born? What's the big deal?????

A very important question asked by a very important person of a very important person of interest.
A police officer would not detain, or question a person without having probable cause to do so.
Retain an attorney, they will give you very important information concerning your legal rights.
I recall that you claimed your husband is in MY country illegally, If that is so, he has no American rights, due to the fact that he is a criminal trespassing within a sovereign nation.

Well, if it's illegal to ask a Mexican where he was born, he should wear a sign that says, "I was born in Mexico, therefore it's illegal to ask me where I'm from." Additionally, he should wear another sign that says he's an illegal alien so that the cops know not to ask him about his immigration status. Next, he should wear a stupid sign for marrying an ignoramus.
It's an indirect "voliation" of my civil rights to see you "Hispaincs" mangling the English language. I'm presuming that's why you can't spell, but maybe you're just a public school graduate.

It's not illegal. It's a technique used by police in general to find fugitives and other illegals.
In some states, your driver's license number is your Social Security Number (a lot of states are getting away from this), which is set up to show the region and approximate year of your birth. So if you say you were born in Texas, but your SSN says you were born in Montana, the police will take a very good look at you.

A 6-figure income and you're asking this question on Yahoo Q & A? One would naturally assume that someone with a 6-figure income would have an attorney on retainer. Nice try...
It's not against the law for a police officer to ask that question in certain towns, cities, or states.

Dont be so thin skinned. No offense. Ha. If someone appears to be from another country then it is the right of the officer to ask just as it is your husbands right to not answer the question. Would you get offended if a stranger asks for other specific reasons? It is no different than asking how tall are you unless you are just too sensitive.

No rights were violated. They may pay out, but that doesn't mean you have won. It just means that they wanted to look good and protect their assets and shut you two up. That is great that you and your husband feel that you are "very important" in the community, but yes, the police may ask a question like that if they have reason to believe that your husband is included in some illegal doings or if he is an immigrant. They may not be racial profiling, as you are accusing them of doing. They may just be doing their job and trying to maintain the peace in your community.

it is not illegal for the police to ask for identification or verification of legal status. it is not a direct violation of any of his legal rights. the police are supposed to protect american citizens and i wonder why you became so irate when they are only doing their job. we have a real problem with illegals in this country and if you are legal then you will be concerned too and not overreact when you or your husband are asked where you were born. i am a legal citizen and part american indian and have been asked where i was born or reside on a couple of occasions during traffic stops, should i automatically assume the officer is trying to trick me or step on my civil rights? absolutely not. you just need to calm down and not over react.....one thing though i did notice is that you never clarified if you are legal or illegal.

The cop asked a simple question. That's like anyone else asking you where you were born, but you don't see everybody filing million dollar lawsuits over that. You file for that lawsuit, you're going to have the judge laugh at you in your face.
And that's great that you're important, but we do need less idiots in this world.
