Let Freedom Ring,
Can someone add me to the "banglist"??
National ID cards eh? So we get open borders and national ID cards? Is this 2005 or 1984?
It looks like we lost ....
This is the project that the ex-kgb generals in the Dept. of Homeland Security were "advising" on. Yevgeny Primakov laughingly commented the they've designed a system of internal passports for the US that is more restrictive than the old Soviet Union.
What is the difference between this and the existing individual Social Security Number except that something like this might actually be effective and might provide some protection against so-called 'Identity Theft' as well as insuring some national standard in identifying individuals.
BTW I am mindful of the serious potential for misuse and would applaud efforts to curtail such.
Fire away!

We already have National ID cards...it's called "Social Security Card/number"
If people think this through, ID cards are the ONLY hope against immigration and voter fraud. No big deal, IMO.
You know, it just makes more sense to ID the people who need to be ID'd. For instance, a citizen of another nation wants to enter the U.S. Okay, photo ID them and give them an ID that has a sensor strip that can be monitored by devices that we place nearly everywhere.
As long as that person's ID is moving, we know they are using it. When it stops moving for a 48 hour period, you know who needs to be picked up for non-compliance.
Even if they are not carrying their ID, the INS database has that person's face fingerprints and known contacts in it.
An alert similar to an amber alert would be launched, that person picked up within days.
If a person overstayed their visa, their ID would provide their location instantaniously. If they had stopped using it, they'd have already been picked up, or could be within days.
I want laws that affect non-citizens. Leave us citizens the hell alone. We're obeying the laws of our nation and should be none of the government's GD business.
Just wait until they make you put a microchip in your forehead or forearm. Then they can trace you no matter where you go. You won't be able to buy or sell without it. Sound familiar? It should. It's scriptural.
The night is dark. On a lonely street corner stands a man wearing an overcoat...a person approaches. The man in the overcoat says..."Passport, $100, birth certificate, $200, driver license, $500, social security card, $150, and a new offering...National ID card, $1000."
Our borders are wide open floodgates. Our Citizens are treated as chattel and the politicians do whatever they want while the liberals whittle down our country. What is wrong with this picture?
I have a great idea, why don't we just bar code every Citizen and track their data? (sarcasm)
There's nothing like giving up liberty for some temporary security.
The card itself is no big deal...it's the chip, and whatever info that is on it, that is the big deal. I doubt the average citizen will have equipment that can read what is actually on this chip.
Agreed.
But...
I already have mine!
Semper Fi,
Kelly
