No one is forcing them to have an ID, no one is advocating a "show me your papers" society (at least not in this thread). However, an ID is necessary to exercise certain privileges like voting, driving, buying alcohol, obtaining a birth certificate, obtaining a SS card, and all of the other numerous things mentioned in this thread.
Crap analogy.
Driving is a privilege, voting is a right.
Second, you do not need a state ID to get a birth certificate. To get my birth certificate I called the town clerk where I was born, and she mailed me one. No ID.
Yes, the first time you go to that office but generally not afterwards. Yes, every single time you go to the hospital, at least around here. I have been told that it is in part because of HIPPA laws.
The only ID you have to give at the doctor or hospital is your insurance card, which I also did not ID to get.
Uh, again you have proven your argument is a miserable failure.
There is no Constitutional right to vote. Nowhere in the Constitution does it state everyone has a right to vote.
There are 3 Amendments dealing with voting, yet they only state the reasons people CANNOT be prohibited from voting.
Race, gender, poll tax.
If the Constitution actually stated "everyone has the right to vote", then those who are convicted felons and dishonorably discharged from the military would be in court fighting the prohibitions.
If there is a cost to getting the documents necessary to get the ID, as well as the cost of the ID itself, then there is MONETARY COST to voting and is a poll tax without the name. That is unconstitutional as it basically violates the 24th.
I'd like to get your BC without proving I'm actually you.
Birth certificate in and of itself is nearly useless.
But you continue to ignore that interference with federal elections by states with wildly differing conditions to vote is going to be challenged and overturned instantly by SCOTUS.
