The last thing anybody in America needs is a National ID Card.
The Wall Street Journal broke the story. The Obama Administration is getting ready to roll out the idea of a National ID Card with your fingerprints embedded in it. The ostensible reason? To try to go after the illegal alien problem.
The problem is, the Democrats don’t see the illegal aliens as a problem. They see them as a supply of fresh voters and fresh Union members.
They are going to suggest that if we have a biometric National ID Card it will solve our national security. It will go after the illegal aliens. But, what I also expect them to sneak into the bill is the same agenda the president talked about when he gave that speech in Guadalajara last year. He wants amnesty and a path to citizenship.
The last thing America should do is reward 12 million people for breaking our laws for the better part of a decade.

You’re a bit paranoid and biased.
–Illegal aliens don’t vote or join Unions.
–A national ID has been talked about for around 30 years, it’s not some new Democrat idea. The idea was brought back to life after 9/11, while Republicans were still running the show. Same with biometric info being included in it.
–You slipped seamlessly from what could be called semi-facts into what you simply expect to happen. There’s no reason to think he is planning amnesty, nobody is talking about amnesty, that would NEVER make it though Congress even it was all Democrat, you just expect it to happen. That’s silly.
I never understand how poeple can get so hyped up over things that are clearly not going to happen, but completley ignore things like the Patriot Act. Forget about your party, worry about your country. The Republicans made it legal for the government to come and arrest you without reason, hold you without trial, and torture you if need be. That didn’t upset you?

i dont see any bad reason to ask for ID to weed out illegals since we have been showing our ID of drivers license and registration for years. illegals are making a big issue out of it, If they dont like it they can go back home and fight the gangs.

If you actually read that article you’d see that the Obama administration is doing no such thing, but rather it is an idea being proposed by two Senators. It’s not a new idea, I think it was first proposed during World War I.
The problem with this bill is twofold: It pretty much demands racial profiling (how many blue-eyed blonds do you think are going to be stopped on the streets of Benson, Arizona and asked for proof of residency?) and it violates the 4th Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches. Simply being on the street is not a legitimate reason for the police to ask you for ID. There needs to be a probable cause for the search. Even something as simple a loitering will do, but stopping someone with no evidence of a crime is not the American way.

You have a short memory it seems.
Both McCain and Bush Jr. advocated an “amnesty and a path to citizenship.”
The “path” involved paying between $5K and $8K in estimated income taxes.
The National ID card already exists.
It has been available for many years but states are not obligated to implement its use.
They are generally refusing to implement it because the individual states would have to incur the cost of it’s implementation [logistics, printing, bureaucracy, etc.]. And it is clear that these cards won’t do much to prevent illegal immigration.
But it’s nice to see that you are capable of disagreeing with Republicans too.
