You can call me a conspiracy theorist if you like, but I'm sensing and ulterior motive behind the federal government's movements towards "controlling the borders."

When the CFR-members in Congress get behind something, I tend to get suspicious. Conservatives have been griping about immigration for years and now, all of a sudden it's the major headline every day. I think the sudden interest by our policy makers is going to lead to what the President mentioned last night: a secure, biometric ID card that you'll need to get a job in he USA. This will have to extend to citizens as well.

This whole immigration debate is going to a national ID card. The CFR-world federalist bunch are going to use the momentum to push this through. Just wait and see. Soon it will be, "Ach, Haben sie ihr Papieren, mein Herr?"

Soon it will be, "Ach, Haben sie ihr Papieren, mein Herr?"

I'm afraid that already describes the situation for many in the USA.
The people known as "legal citizens".
Pulled over by the police? Produce a drivers license and proof of insurance
or bad things happen.
Boarding a plane? Bend over!
(Hell, I was getting the "sir, can we do an extra inspection on your
bag?" years before 9-11. I guess I was such an average, middle-aged
white guy, I just had to be a Serbian terrorist)
Etc.
It's the illegals that rarely have to worry about that documentation hassle.

You are not a conspiracy theorist when you are stating proveable facts. What we are looking at is a conspiracy fact.
