We have no National ID Card and therefore the idea that we're supposed to have any 'papers' to show in the first place is un-American.

I thought that's what Social Security was for. ;)

Social Security was never intented for a National ID. In fact numerous laws prohibit using the SS number as a master ID. For example your drivers license is searched by first, middle and last name, now their is a field for SS in the data base but law prohibits it from becoming the key field.
