Yeah. Sure. Try asking a cop to check the ID of the hundreds of illegal aliens hanging around the "day worker" areas, instead of driving past them just to screw with some poor schumuck for changing lanes without a turn signal. Do it in front of a "day worker" area with hundreds of Illegal Aliens standing there in plain sight, and see who he checks out, you, or the Illegal Aliens standing there still dripping water.
We won't throw out twelve million illegals, but you think making me submit to a Federal ID number, is going to keep out illegals? It's going to stop terrorists, for me to have a Federal ID? How? It's against Federal law to profile. I'm sure Terrorists coming in with the Illegals, knowing they will be given a free pass due to Congress voting for Amnesty, are going to worry about producing an ID card. Those guys are not stupid.
They know racial profiling is banned, due to it being politically incorrect. Nobody would dare try to ask them for an ID, unless they are in an airport. Simple as that. However, they would ask you, or me, because they won't get in trouble screwing with an American citizen.
Why not just require everyone to have a microchip inserted in their body. What is the big deal? To heck with the right wing religious kooks and their screwy religious beliefs!
If someone is Muslim, the U.S. worries about their religious beliefs. But if a Christian doesn't want to have a microchip implant or an RFID Identity card due to his or her Christian beliefs, they get labeled as tin foil hat wearing conspiracy nuts.
Instead, how about we make sure young, middle eastern males entering the country from Syria, Iraq, Iran, and places that teach it is okay to kill people that are not members of the same religion, just don't come here? How about that, instead of making a guy that was born and raised here, get labeld with a number in a government databse subject to huge screw ups???????
Wait til you are told to "produce your number card" and some jackass has typed in a wrong name in a database linked to your number, and some government employee reads your mispelled name. You are then off to the justice system that can hold you for years, without charge. You will love that.
When I went for my kid's driver's license trainee permit from the State of Texas, we produced his student photo ID from High School, a certified copy of his birth certificate, and an original Texas Hunters Safety Course Photo ID Card, issued to him by the State of Texas.
The State of Texas DPS employee, would not allow him to take his driving test saying the State of Texas, would not accept a photo ID issued by the State of Texas, due to a Federal law, that would only accept the kid's Federal Social Security Card. And that was to get a State Document. This is how stupid it gets.
An earlier post by someone said "try and fix a credit reporting agency snafu and see how far you get". I will tell you EXACTLY how that will turn out, each and every time. You will get told it is repaired by a CSR, and you will pull a credit report every month til the day you die, and that credit report snafu will appear there, just as long as that agency decides they want to report it incorrectly, and you will not, unless you PAY A 'credit repair fee".
I deal with credit reports on a daily basis, in my business. I will tell you honestly, the very last thing you want to occur is to be totally held to a number in a database run by low wage employees who hold you life and future in the hands they type with.
Just off the top of my head, these are just a few of the reasons I don't want to be a computerized number, in a Federal ID database.
