There are systems in place already for verifying the validity of driver's licenses and social security numbers. A number of employers use them. The problem is that for employers who hire illegals, and there is not a doubt in my mind that they know they are illegals, there is no incentive for them to verify documents provided by their illegal applicants. If they did, they would no longer be able to claim ignorance which, for now, is serving them well.
The solution is not to put more restrictions on Americans, but on employers in their hiring practives. Of course, the whole argument is a red herring. National ID isn't about controlling illegals. It is about tracking and controlling Americans. This is just another excuse to implement a program the federal government has drooled over for decades, just waiting until they could find an excuse that enough Americans would buy into.
BTTT!! I'm sure the Reconquistas are happy we citizens are now second-class. In the big accident that happened the other day in Southern Arizona, every single one of the area's ER doctors was tied up, treating illegal aliens. Now, obviously, we can't have people (who shouldn't be here to begin with, but that is a different story) dying on the highways. However, what if one other accident had happened? What if someone had a heart attack? Fat chance of getting help - illegal aliens take priority and innocent citizens can just die.
