Romney Proposes National ID Card (Police State Alert)
The New American ^ | 2011-12-19 | Joe Wolverton

Posted on 12/20/2011 9:22:48 PM PST by rabscuttle385

Mitt Romney has a plan. A plan to solve the “immigration problem.” And it will come as no surprise to those following the GOP presidential debates that the answer of Romney — the former Governor of Massachusetts and father of the “individual mandate” — is more government.

At last week’s debate, Romney announced his idea for dealing with the more than 11 million illegal immigrants currently living in the United States in defiance of applicable federal and state laws.

On stage in Sioux City, Romney laid out for Republicans his plan for a national identification card system to distinguish between those here without permission and those legally permitted to live and work in the United States.

Hey, they are the illegals. Why should I have to carry extra identification? At any given time I've already got 4 photo IDs on me. I am not carrying another one without one h*ll of a good reason. Just because someone else is here violating our laws is not a good enough reason to further burden me with proving who I am.

Not sure what everyone is whining about..

Have you forgotten the REAL ID Act Requirements??

“After 2011, “a Federal agency may not accept, for any official purpose, a driver’s license or identification card issued by a state to any person unless the state is meeting the requirements” specified in the REAL ID Act.

The DHS will continue to consider additional ways in which a REAL ID license can or should be used for official federal purposes without seeking the approval of Congress before doing so.

States remain free to also issue non-complying licenses and IDs, so long as these have a unique design and a clear statement that they cannot be accepted for any Federal identification purpose.

The Federal Transportation Security Administration is responsible for security check-in at airports, so bearers of non-compliant documents would no longer be able to travel on common carrier aircraft without additional screening unless they had an alternative government-issued photo ID.”

The National ID card is ALREADY HERE...

I have a better idea.

Change the Constitution so that any politician running for office is required to have a biometric ID card, with all physical characteristics, DNA, etc. and to be implanted with a tracking chip.

Any politician who votes for a bill which (five years after passage) has resulted in at least 10% greater spending than forecast when the bill was debated, or, which (outside of a formal declaration of war) has resulted in an increase of taxes of more than 1% in any single year, shall be tracked down by the implanted chip and sold into slavery to the highest bidder from all non-office-holding, voting civilians within the city/state/district represented. Such slavery to be immediate, lifelong, non-transferable, and irrevocable. Further, the politician is to be stripped of all civil rights.

The politician shall be replaced immediately by either (a) his opponent for that office receiving the highest percentage of the votes of all the rivals, during the past election, or (b) the opposing party's campaign/organizing committee for the same level of government (County / City / District / State)

Proceeds from the sale shall be used to pay OFF the principal on the national debt and may not be used for current or future government spending or interest payments on any level. /taste of their own medicine>

Or better still:

B.T.F.W.

Cheers!

Giving these ID’s to illegals will be one of the first things they’d do next.

Any card is an excuse to start a new counterfeit enterprise.

People HAVE forgotten - Bush signed the REAL ID Act into law back in 2005, and he and the Republican Congress were quite proud of it. A lot of FReepers tried to raise the warning back then.

Don’t worry, your SSN will not be anything more than a number for Social Security. BTW, you better fasten that seat-belt.

Every day we have illegals crossing the border using someone else’s ID. They just busted a gang here who had been doing it for at least 20 years. They simply find some ID that fairly well matches the intended user and send it down the Mexico.
They generally cross the border in a car with several people..some with good ID and some with assumed ID’s. Without good ID’s with biometrics..we will never solve the illegal problem.

Are you guys all nuts? Romney is no ideal conservative, not by a long shot, but is your hatred of him so great that you can't see past your nose?

WE ALREADY HAVE ID CARDS!!!!!!! They are called Social Security cards, Drivers Licenses, etc. Normal people can't get jobs without them. THAT MEANS YOU AND ME!

The ID cards proposed are for immigrants to prove they are here legally.

What's the big beef? Why shouldn't they be required to do the same thing we all must to to have lawful and gainful employment.

Step back from the brink for a minute and think about what you are saying people... This venom and irrational hatred is getting pretty scary.
