"If the act's mandates take effect in May 2008, as expected, Americans will be required to obtain federally approved ID cards with "machine readable technology" that abides by Department of Homeland Security specifications. Anyone without such an ID card will be effectively prohibited from traveling by air or Amtrak, opening a bank account, or entering federal buildings."
Thats your "papers" to operate like a citizen. Required by your government. Illegals don't need em, aren't required to have 'em. They don't open bank accounts, enter federal buildings (of their own will), fly or ride trains much (they drive uninsured cars with or without driver's licences).
Once again, the answer to security concerns: infringe on the rights of the citizen in a misguided effort to control the non-citizen.
Harris? Typical politician. Can't remember if she has a CCW? I aplaud her getting training, but I have some serious questions about her mental preparedness.
