I'm hearing the whirring of black helicopters in the distance. Anyway, do you object to having to present your social security card whenever you change employers? Because that's what the law already says. Or do you not have a problem as long as the card (the current one) can be forged by a 10 year old?
What we need is a digital ID card for immigrants, legals that is, that can be checked out in a hurry and be hard to forge.
Okay, sounds great to me!
When an immigrant applies for a job simply ask for HIS national immigrant ID card and if he/she/it doesn't have one then call in La Migra.
One question.
How do you know they're immigrants? If citizens aren't required to present I.D.'s like that at the time of hiring, what's to stop an immigrant from claiming to be a citizen, and hence not required to present his "for immigrants only" I.D.?
I remember when this country was FREE by god, and I would like it to get back to that point. Requiring national IDs would not be a step in that direction.
We have laws in place now, laws that worked for many years before politicians decided they could get more votes from ILLeGALS or curry favors from businesses. Illegals kind of stand out. I dare you to drive by one of their gathering places and then ask yourself how you can tell they are immigrants.
For your information SS cards are not national IDs, but SS cards are all we need to enforce our immigration laws today.
A database of the SS numbers(which we already have) with names, description of the holder and place of currrent or last employment is all we need. Forgeries would show up, as would any forged green cards that were not on the national data base. So if a citizen shows up with a SS number and it is checked out, as it is supposed to be done now BTW, and the citizen turns out not to be the one whose name and address and current employment in some other state who was issued this card but by an Alien invader, then ship them back and if the employer fails to turn them in, prosecute the employer.
It would be easy, what is lacking is the will of politicians and the brains of citizens like you. Apparently you don't have one or you would see the trap that National IDs are for everyone. SS cards are ONLY used to verify employment status, national IDs would be used to harry you through everyday life, and it would happen very, very soon after inactment.
