We don’t need a national ID. If we use the E-Verify system for employment on a mandatory basis, it will destroy the job magnet that attracts the illegals. We need to enforce our existing laws
But you said some of those laws have been on the books since 1940. That makes them old and out of date, like the Constitution! We need living laws that change with the weather. Then if there were laws we didn't like we could blame them for AGW.
