I understand this card is in the healthcare bill.

[Puppage]

I HAVE a national ID card already....it’s called a Social Security Card.

[Venturer]

If Chuck the Schmuck and Lindsey Graham want a national ID card it is certainly not to curb Illegal Immigrants.

look for a deeper reason.

These two sweethearts are not against illegal immigrants.

Every illegal has them too. ;-)

[Irisshlass]

Exactly...it is about controlling us.

[oh8eleven]

It is truly time for the torches & pitchforks or even more.
I promise I will not give up my freedom without a fight.
Semper Fi ...

[TADSLOS]

IOW, “the Real ID Act didn’t go far enough with invading U.S. citizens privacy and states are stonewalling. Let’s step on the gas and federally mandate putting the burden on the citizenry to prove who they are and keep an eye on them instead of the tracking down illegal lawbreakers and sending them back where they belong.”

[Puppage]

Every illegal has them too. ;-)

Ugh! Kick'n me when I am down. Duuuude! :-)

Yep, the one that was guaranteed never to be an I.D.

Now you can't do a thing without it.

[rhombus]

Ugh! Kick'n me when I am down. Duuuude! :-)

Not me. Just pointing out social security cards are easy to fake. No kicking intended. :-)

[knarf]

This is all such bull$h!t !!!

Just like gun control laws, all it does is data base legitimate citizens and never addresses the problem of illegal aliens.

Put machine gun towers along the borders, fire ever TSA employee and hire only amputeed and medically discharged (for war wounds) vets.

48 hours max ... America will be clean, healthy and moving an economy along that will make our heads swim.

FIRE CONGRESS ... EVERY STINKIN' ONE OF 'EM !!!!

GOOOH !

Get Out Of Our House !!

[tropical]

If the government is going to insist on a national ID card, it must also be required to vote!

[ThunderSleeps]

Me too. But you're missing the point. The Democrats can't get their illegal aliens Social Security Cards. So they want to get them "National ID Cards"... Guess what, in 2012 that'll be all you need to vote. It is probably the only way the Democrats can avoid a 180 degree turn around by 2012. I believe after that election the GOP will have the White House and comfortable majorities in both the House and the Senate.

This November's election will tell the tale. When (as I believe), the Democrats get spanked they'll see the writing on the wall for '12 and the push for the "National ID Card" and/or amnesty will begin in earnest.

Mark of the Beast, step one.

I seriously doubt this is in the health care reform bill, because it would leave them open to a procedural objection that it is non-germane to the legislation, bringing things to a halt. This is a sinister, totalitarian idea, but I think it over-estimates the competency of the federal government. It is little more than an attempt at bait and switch. They CLAIM they are going to set up some kind of fool-proof ID system to prevent illegals from getting jobs. But FIRST they want to pass the amnesty, now, right away, immediately, please let us!! and THEN we'll get right to work on that ID system to prevent future illegals from working.

Except that they won’t ever get around to the ID system.

Look at DHS’s record in carrying out previous congressional technology mandates of this sort: the "virtual" fence, the "no fly" list, the scanning of incoming freight, the system that allows Border Patrol stations to communicate with each other, access FBI databases and identify criminals, I could go on, but you get my drift. None of it is ever done effectively. They spend billions and it doesn’t work.

Those who, quite reasonably, fear this ID plan can take comfort in how extremely unlikely it is to ever be established as advertised. It is just one more lie they are willing to tell in order to get their amnesty plan passed.

[TYVets]

If Chuck the Schmuck and Lindsey Graham want a national ID card it..

Then it will be a DANGER to your freedom, safety and well being.

[askrenr]

Every illegal has them too. ;-)
Maybe with the same number as his

Because enforcing the current laws on the books is just too hard. (extreme sarcasm)

[Puppage]

Me too. But you're missing the point.

It was sarcasm
