You have to wonder how many tourists are asked for papers. Or detained. Or deported. My guess that would mainly be tourists from Spanish-speaking nations, but we’ll never know. They just go home and never set foot in the US again, and tell their friends what a horrible country we have here.

I’d question how many tourists Montana has in the first place. Remember, this is a state with such low population density that drinking while driving was legal until 2005 – maintained in part on the logic that you were extremely unlikely to hit anyone on the long drive between towns.
