Welcome to the Gestapo - show me your National Id card!!! (illegal, illegals)

[freefall]

Imagine a future where you are not able to drive a car, get on a plane, get on a train, vote, enter a federal building, open a bank account or
get a job without a national ID card.

You don't think that could ever happen in America?

Well, you might want to brush up on the Real ID Act because it is going
to go into effect on May 11, 2011 unless something is done to stop it.

I have no problem with that.

And how is this a problem? We already have one national ID card known as the Social Security card. Why not have one with a picture?

You can't do any of that now without photo ID except get on a train. Where is your outrage for requiring ID for DECADES for those things?

Good example of slippery slopism and overreach.

Eventually the argument for chip implants will be that the cards can be lost, stolen or copied and they are only for your own protection.

Wouldn't one form of id be better than 50 different versions, just using logic it sems like the smart way to go.
