FWIW, I think the US is in serious need of a national ID card. Unless we get some form of secure, national ID, fraud (voter, ID, etc...) will continue to grow more rampant.
That won’t help fraud. Anyone can buy a driver’s license or steal one. In my line of work I handled a situation where this national had four different US i.d.s and all had his photo. Come on.
Dude....like...Dude.
I am a citizen of Nebraska. As such, I am also happen to be a citizen of the US. The latter is entirely dependent upon the former. I do not owe the central Govt my identity for ANY purpose. The State of Nebraska is my agent for dealing with the central Govt.
Rethink your position on this, posthaste.
We already have a de facto national ID card, aka a driver license. I've never understood the objections to a national ID card. Everybody whips out the "papers, please" trope, but how is that any different from our resident JBTs asking for "license and registration" at the slightest provocation?
