I may be wrong, but from what I have read, all the weeping, gnashing of teeth and renting of hair shirts, is but a straw man.

As I understand it, all of this is unavoidable, if one simply produces a valid birth certificate. If uncertain as to one’s identity, I much prefer they prove it rather than just handing out passports willy nilly to anyone.

"As I understand it, all of this is unavoidable, if one simply produces a valid birth certificate."

So it's even harder for those who have birth certificates.

I’m sure you know by now that the expansion of governmental powers occurs by creep. Initially this will be for some citizens who cannot produce a birth certificate. Eventually, it will be for those citizens for whom Homeland Security deems it “necessary”. Finally, it will be for all citizens.

We know how this game is played, we’ve seen 3 quarters of it already.
