It seems that many in this country would favor a national ID card to prove they are citizens if it would magically help control the illegal immigrant problem. But the simple truth is that no national program has done anything to control the number of illegals flooding into this country. A national ID card would just put another restriction on law-abiding Americans and those who choose to break the law will continue to do so. We all know that restrictive gun laws only infringe on the rights of honest citizens while doing nothing to prevent criminals from obtaining guns. Why in gods name would a national ID be any different. I pray I never see the day when I walk down the street and have the police ask to see my papers. On that day, at that moment I will know the America of my father, the America of the founders is dead and I am in a totalitarian state. To me there is no compromise on this issue. Its black and white with no middle ground. To compare it with a driver's license, or a social security card is a red herring. You only have to show a driver's license when driving, not when walking to the corner store. You only have to show your social security card at the bank, when opening an account and perhaps at the doctors office. Just imagine being stopped on the street and asked for your papers---the mere thought is repugnant and unAmerican to me. Hell it that happens I might as well be in Cuba or Communist China.

A NATIONAL ID CARD IS ANOTHER STEP TOWARD TOTALITARIANISM!

When you mentioned the SS card, it reminded me of the fact that mine SS card is old enough to still say, "Not to be used for Identification."
How much you want to bet that this new ID will be required for most everything...except voting?
Another way to keep track of us.
Imagine what can be placed into
a card these days. Starting to
look more like Cuba or China
everyday that goes by.
"Hell it that happens I might as well be in Cuba or Communist China."
The totalitarians are not happy with just having a china or cuba around for those who love them to move to. No, they want to make that in America.
If I thought for one minute it would stop the flow of illegal aliens I might be for it. But you know that won't happen.

exactly!..ah yea but anyone can vote right!!!
We need armed troops on our borders to stop the flood of
illegals. Call me a racist
so what. Won't be the last
time.

Agreed!
I cannot imagine that the forgery network and the black market won't get in on making ID cards for illegals. A whole new cottage industry would pop up!
A valid and authentic National ID Card would be used to track us (even more than we're already being tracked).
It is scary how they can track a person using RF chips. The military already has this in our ID cards. I'm pretty sure they put this into any attempt at a national ID card.
