If we could but totally isolate the United States from all the funny little foreign people, we most likely wouldn't need to do this.

Unfortunately the world is filled with illbehaving jerks, and we either have to hunt them all down and kill them, or put up with driver's licenses that conform to a national standard.

Exactly. Sure on some super idealistic level I don't like this. But, on the other hand we have 20 million illegals here destroying our state budgets, and planning for a big takeover soon. That seems a lot more urgent. Maybe not in New Hampshire, but for sure out west where I live.

Of course the real question is will we have the guts to do anything about it? Right now they basically get a total free pass, anyway.

The scary thing is, if this goes through, if the states bend over for the feds, people will trust this ID way too much, which would create a very insecure invironment for the nation.

Combine that with federal facilities (courthouses, etc.) requiring one of these to enter, and you create the situation where people blindly trust the government with these things, and when (not if) they are broken and falsified, people will have been lulled into sense of security and trust them at face value.
