It is way past time to seal the borders and deport illegals. At the very least it is the first thing that should have been done on Sepember 11. Revoke ALL existing student Visas to individuals who come from states known to support terrorism and send those people back. Do NOT issue any more to students in those countries. And do NOT make US citizens pay the price for terrorism. If they want to ID somebody, make people who are not citizens have ID. If they are caught without it, deport them. Plain common sense.
It ain't gonna happen though. The reasons being: (1) Common sense went out of fashion years ago, (2) the republicans support cheap labor and (3) the Democrats want uneducated voters. We're beating our heads against the wall if we think anything significant is going to be done about this problem.
Every poll I have seen suggests that the American people want illegals out by something like 3 to 1 or better and tighter controls on the borders. Well, guess what y'all. Politicians on neither side seem to care what the people want. The government has a different agenda and the people be damned.

If the non-citizen isn't carrying the ID, and merely says "I am a citizen," doesn't that kind of negate the idea of having any ID to begin with?

Yeah, you nailed it, Sadly, NOTHING will happen, and even if/when we are hit again, these nimrods will simply erode more civil liberties, while protecting the so called "rights" of these Alien infiltrators. Oh but we are a stupid lot...POOHBAH in particular though!!

It is quite clear to me that when Bush said "Go Back To Life As Normal" he meant that for himself as well. With Bush the message IMO is: We can't stop this very prosperous business of illegal immigration for some of my contributors to get in the way of fully assuring the freedoms and protections of the American citizens of this country.

I still can't figure out why the GOP thinks they will benefit from a new massive underclass that the democrats with the republicans help are importing. It boggles the mind. Unless you look at the two parties as one.
