Personally, I like a national ID card that will allow people to work and to vote. No card? No work, no vote.

I understand that it has echoes of a Police State and Revelation, but I think this still would be a good thing.

More backdoor takeover attempt

I have NO problem with non citizens having to have an ID card...but a national ID card is BS __ Geez why not just tattoo numbers on us..oh wait...”Papers please”

It doesn’t stop illegal immigrants from working, as they can still be paid under the table in cash. Meanwhile, CITIZENS of the U.S. have yet another burden placed on them by the Federal Government.

“To receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the Beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the Beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666....” - Revelations 13: 16-18

One of the rare times I agree with the ACLU. Instead of cutting off welfare and free medical for illegals, and defending our borders we are going to hassle the honest citizens, AGAIN. Honest citizens do this, do that, pay, pay, pay(this ID card won’t be free)Illegals; don’t you worry your pretty little heads about anything. Just sit over there with your hand out and we will give you money.
The bottom lone, this will degenerate into a “let’s see your ID”(scan the info into handy portable devices) for every aspect of our lives.
No thanks.

I guess this would take place, just after granting amnesty to
30 million illegal new Obots.
It will double as a voter registration card, no doubt.

There’s a word that needs to be revived in American political parlance, and this travesty is another perfect example of why.

That word?

Un-American.

[DH]

An so it begins.

Your papers please.

The perfect excuse for the communists and Marxists to finally control the once free Americans.

[Caipirabob]

Horse pucky. The whole immigration issue is about the left doing the same thing to the USA that their euro-socialist kin did to Europe by introducing millions of foreign dependents on the welfare system, creating enough stress to collapse the system while creating social chaos because non of them will acclimate to European society.

That's all this is about, period.

The idea is that if they force all Americans to carry “biometric” ID cards, then they can legalize all the illegal aliens and nobody will worry anymore about more illegal aliens coming in since they won’t have the “biometric” ID cards. So they won’t come. Or if they do, they will of course be immediately deported, just like we immediately deport illegals now — just ask Obama’s aunty.

And since they don’t have the “biometric” ID card and are known illegals, they won’t be allowed to live in subsidized public housing — just ask Obama’s aunty.

The political class seems to get stupider every day. We, legal citizens, will have to walk around with ID cards that the government can use to track our every movement while they give away benefits to illegal aliens like they do today — just ask Obama’s aunty.

And that stupidest of jackasses, Linseed Graham, is leading the charge.

[Kakaze]

Wait until people start going to get their id, only to find out some illegal is already using it!

You think it is hard now to fix misuse of S.S. numbers wait until the fraud starts here.

Could I use the short form of my birth certificate to get one?

"It's the nub of solving the immigration dilemma politically speaking," Mr. Schumer said in an interview. The card, he said, would directly answer concerns that after legislation is signed, another wave of illegal immigrants would arrive. "If you say they can't get a job when they come here, you'll stop it."

Slime-bag Schumer was instrumental in the 1986 Amnesty. He also assured Americans then - concerned about "another wave of" illegals - that with "employee sanctions" in that bill "you'll stop it."

After Schumer 1986 Amnesty legalized 2.5 million, we now have 12-20 million more illegals and the slime-bag is again selling his @#$% with assurances he knows are false.

[CPOSharky]

Too bad the illegals can’t have tatoos put on their foreheads.

But, nooo, gotta make it harder for the legals.

[Travis McGee]

a national biometric identification card all American workers would eventually be required to obtain. Great! Instead of securing the border and deporting the illegal invaders (too easy) they are going to put biometric trackers on ALL American citizens!

Under the potentially controversial plan still taking shape in the Senate, all legal U.S. workers, including citizens and immigrants, would be issued an ID card with embedded information, such as fingerprints, to tie the card to the worker.

Big Government™ at work!

Under the potentially controversial plan still taking shape in the Senate, all legal U.S. workers, including citizens and immigrants, would be issued an ID card with embedded information, such as fingerprints, to tie the card to the worker...The uphill effort to pass a bill is being led by Sens. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) and Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.)...

McCain and his lap dog trampling on the Constitution and on the liberties and freedoms of individual U.S. citizens and lawful residents.
