National Identity Card? In The USA? Just Three Years Away to a National Database (my title)
CNET/News.com ^ | 6 May 2005 | Declan McCullagh



Starting three years from now, if you live or work in the United States, you'll need a federally approved ID card to travel on an airplane, open a bank account, collect Social Security payments, or take advantage of nearly any government service. Practically speaking, your driver's license likely will have to be reissued to meet federal standards.

The Real ID Act hands the Department of Homeland Security the power to set these standards and determine whether state drivers' licenses and other ID cards pass muster. Only ID cards approved by Homeland Security can be accepted "for any official purpose" by the feds.

In exchange for federal cash, states must agree to link up their databases. Specifically, the Real ID Act says it hopes to "provide electronic access by a state to information contained in the motor vehicle databases of all other states."

What would this card do that the current driver licence and state identity card won't do?

We also already have a national ID card - it's called a Social Security Card.

We are supposed to be one nation consisting of independently sovereign states. Unfortunately, this has apparently all but been lost.

That concept disintegrated in 1865.

Another f^*king politicans brilliant idea. Re-inventing the wheel to keep his/their seats in the Congress.

Last I checked, a SS card was not an OFFICIAL ID.

In fact, try driving without a DL and get pulled over, claiming that the only ID you have is your SS #.

I think we need to take a page out of Vlad the Impailers book. Rotting corpses every 100 feet along the border will do wonders to keep the illegals on their side of the border.

I would serve a dual purpose of giving every left leaning person in the country a massive coronary...

Let's shoot thieves, too.

The problem with those you can thank the Liberals for.....they have been fighting for the Illegals to get legal identity cards and legal drivers licesnses making them look like upstanding legal residents , which of course they are not.

Enough states are insisting on this they are forcing the government to do the very thing that gets the liberals lace panties ina bunch....a national ID card.

I was born and raised in California, lived my whole life here, mostly. When I was going through drivers education while in high school I was taught that driving was a privilege. The one thing I dont understand about this whole giving illegals drivers licenses is, how is it that driving is a privilege for me but a right for illegal aliens?

Man, old bonehead, where did you go? For what it's worth now, liberals don't want a national ID card? On what planet? Let's see, who doesn't want a national ID card, hmm... 666 religious kooks, right wing gun nuts, Glenn Beck paranoids, hmm, don't see too many liberals in there.
