Isn’t this racist?
And anyone who can't produce a valid ID will be deported to their country of origin. / bitter sarc
With respect to what I expect, it is not about me but if I am in a combat zone and the enemy is pounding the crap out of us from the sky and my side has 400 Stingers, or a derivative thereof, and knowing my resource of weapons is in far greater numbers than their fixed wing resources, you figure it out. Once the cap is gone, then so is the protection for the rotary wing. The Afghans and Iraqi insurgents are awfully good at bringing down our choppers with their grenade launchers.
They’re so afraid to admit that the USA has a national ID card, that everyone is required to carry around.
It’s the driver’s license.
Admit it. We’re just like the European countries.
I have no problem with a compulsory national ID, provided that it applies exactly the same way to everyone, and that the the democrat’s favorite new voting group, illegal immigrants, can’t get one.
True irony in that, isn’t there.
I don’t know. I thought the same thing, but it appears the DL must have an RFID chip? I don’t think my DL is chipped and I just got a TDL 6 months ago.
That’s not how it works...
The way it works is, rather than address threats to national security through force and resolve, you create a hysteria that induces the sheep to bleat for safety and respond to it by restricting their liberty.
As soon as the feds wave money, most states salivate and ask how high they should jump...
Finally - a use for aluminum foil that has nothing to do with hats.
“Im sure they will also be requiring this for voter I.D. Yes?”
Make it a requirement that either voter ID is part of that card or it is DOA.
Let the rats talk their way out of that.
It’s my recollection that the fancy bar code on the back meets the ‘Real ID’ requirement. It’s Department of Homeland Security ‘Enhanced Drivers Licence’ that would require the chip. I already have a Passport Card with a chip.
Well, that’s inconvenient. Why don’t they just tattoo a barcode on your forehead or the back of your hand? /s
How many times do we need to tell them “no”?
Georgia is a ‘Real ID’ driver’s license state:

SS numbers were dropped from driver’s licenses when identity theft became a sport, but your SS number is required to get a license. Obama doesn’t have a Georgia driver’s license.

“How many times do we need to tell them no?”
Saying “No” falls on deaf ears unless delivered at high velocity.
Homeland - creepy little totalitarian wannabees...
3200 fps faster enough?
I bet they still won’t require it for voting, that would be racist.
Our elected “Conservative” republicans in the House ans Senate let this kind of crap through without even a mention? I thought their was a call for National ID a few years ago and it was defeated or at least those pushing it backed down. It was probably inserted into other legislation and then passed by those who said they were against it. I can see Alexander doing it that way, for our own good. Washington Generals and Harlem Globe Trotters.
Hmm, I thought so as well, but check: http://www.dhs.gov/enhanced-drivers-licenses-what-are-they
There, as I read it both a chip and a bar code are required. At the site it’s stated:
“Enhanced drivers licenses make it easier for U.S. citizens to cross the border into the United States because they include
a vicinity Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip that will signal a secure system to pull up your biographic and biometric data for the CBP officer as you approach the border inspection booth, and
a Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) or barcode that the CBP officer can read electronically if RFID isn’t available.
The top 39 land ports of entry, which process more than 95 percent of land border crossings, are equipped with RFID technology that helps facilitate travel by individual presenting EDLs or one of the other RFID-enabled documents.”
