I'm in the distinct minority here who have long called for a tamper-proof national citizenship card. We can do it, but we just don't want to.
Somebody ought to take this pissant smarmy little illegal alien turd out back and take the smile off his face.
It's obvious ICE isn't going to do it.
I am inclined to favor it, too.
First my car was stolen and found in Mexico, trashed. Today I found out they cloned my debit card and made some charges on it. I check my account all the time, so I caught it immediately. I had my debit card on me all the time so I never thought they could do that from the information in the car.
Reporting it to the police was like telling them the sky was blue. "Yawn."
A national citizenship card would eliminate voter fraud as well.
Something to consider.
I'll join you. I'm uncomfortable with an internal passport but we need to solve the problem.
Uh, why aren't the police there, making a freekin' arrest?!?
I am shocked.
Four or five years ago, I would have been pummelled by now. I think Rep. Lamar Smith was pushing the concept at the time. It was before 9/11 and his angle was the illegal alien problem.
It was 99% AGAINST the idea here at FR.
Perceptions change, I guess.
My feeling was that any investigation by the government into my identity, even not requiring a warrant, would yield them at least as much information as a national citizenship card would provide.
But it would differentiate between those of us who own this country and this who don't, and protect the electoral process as well.
But all I heard was "ZHOW ME YOUR PAPERS!"
"We are not trying to do anything bad," said Sergio Guitierrez, 35, an illegal immigrant from Mexico who sells IDs. "Immigrants just need to work."
"This is the government's fault," said Maria Zuniga, 55, an illegal immigrant from Honduras who sells and transports documents. "They won't even give us a number to work or a driver's license."
(Bangs his head on the wall over and over and over and.....)
One of the biggest threats is from gang bangers demanding protection money? Hell, I bet 90 percent of these gangsters are illegals themselves!
Well if employers could/would verify a SS# belongs to the person applying for a job, wouldn't that stop some of the people from getting hired. Of course all they have to do is go and buy a new set of ID's.
Fazed? I'd say the forgery lobby is positivly elated.
Finding your cloned National ID Card will really bum you out.
The MacArthur Park fake ID bazaar has been in operation since the 1970s. You'll even see it featured in movies. If the police aren't closing it down it's because someone won't let them.
This SS# identification thing is an incredibly stupid form of identification. At the VERY most, it can ensure that a SS# matches the name it was issued to.
If you have a name that matches a SS # when you apply for a job, you won't be caught. And I can tell you an easy and legal place to get all the matching names and numbers you want. And that list won't be removed EVER.
At least half of the gang members of some the larger LA gangs, White Fence for example, are illegals. Some smaller gangs are almost entirely illegals.
...we're screwed, aren't we...
Yea, and 18th street and mara salvatrucha.
the other half of gang members are children of illegal immigrants, actually its probably more than half.
What tuff immigration talk? I havn't heard any at all. Not from the Prez, not from the Senate. These guys know who's on their side, what's to be afraid of?
