Think National ID card.

[plain talk]

whatever. As long as there is a quick way for employers to verify legal status.

Nothing new here, move along.

All this does is stop criminals from using your SS number to get a job. Try explaining to the IRS why you did not report the income from your other full time jobs in California, Colorado, and Iowa (you live in Florida)!

We already have a national ID, it is called a drivers license.

In one form or another, we WILL have a national ID. Probably sooner rather than later.

I've been carrying a "national ID card" since the 11th of April, 1969. Never had a problem yet.

"Think National ID card."

Already have it. You need a SS number for many transactions and a drivers license for many more. The government and private agencies already know just about everything there is to know about us. The horse is already out of the barn.
At this stage, I am not against an ID scheme that actually might be beneficial to the average citizen for a change.

All this does is provide another method to illegally get permission to work. Of course, an undercover nark, trying to penetrate one of the gangs, may find such a system amusing.
