If these will be anything like the I-551 (Green Card) the counterfeits will be on the street before the real thing.
A national ID will have a stripe for sure. Then the gov’t can control you by requiring any prescriptions be swiped, food purchases, booze etc etc.
Just a bigger database & code after that.
I was thinking along the same lines.
A National ID card with a chip. On that chip they could put:
your medical records, since we now have a national database for that
your work history
your earnings records
your bank records
....Yeah, this is beyond scary stuff. And the left freaked out over voter ID requirements and they will all go along with this? It doesn’t make any sense what-so-ever.
