No nation in history has survived intact the mass invasion of foreigners who want to take, not give to the country, respect its laws, learn the dominant language, and basically want to be a part of it, not to take over the host country.
And...we are bankrupt.
However, we must be able to easily identify anyone who does not have a right to be in this country.
Your rant doesn't explain how we might do that without a national ID card.
