Then until we have a national change of heart, we are going to continue to be overrun with illegal aliens. The solution is to learn Spanish. If you are bilingual, your own job prospects increase dramatically.
Implementing a National ID to prevent an overrun by illegals is like the feds requiring you give them your entire paycheck, and clearing every purchase with them, to ensure you don’t buy snacks with it. It’s like banning autos and requiring bicycles to prevent traffic fatalities. It’s like ... hey, this sounds familiar ... requiring handgun licensing to prevent murders.
Requiring a NID to stop the surge of illegals overlooks the fact that they’re _already_ here _illegally_, and it’s already illegal for them to do much of what they do. You’re expecting compliance from people who are already not complying. You overlook under-the-table cash-for-work jobs. You overlook the multitude of ways paperwork is circumvented or forged already. And you overlook that the border is STILL open.
And I’ll reiterate the core point:
Requiring everyone to have a license to exist is not an acceptable alternative.
You don’t understand how unacceptable that is.
As I replied to another poster:
You want a NID.
I don’t.
Who is willing to push harder?
Do you care THAT much? I do.
