I think it's a great Idea. You should have to produce it to register to vote and to receive a ballot.

President Reagan thought otherwise. He likened a national ID system to the mark of the beast, and I agree with him.

He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead [or in his wallet] 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.

The National ID Card: It's Baaack!

Then-Attorney General William French Smith argued that a perfectly harmless ID card system would be necessary to reduce illegal immigration. A second cabinet member asked: why not tattoo a number on each American's forearm? According to Martin Anderson, the White House domestic policy adviser at the time, Reagan blurted out "My god, that's the mark of the beast." As Anderson wrote, "that was the end of the national identification card" during the Reagan years.
