About a National I.D. Card

''GaryCGibson - 03:15pm Apr 21, 2005 EDT (#116 of 117)"By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which appear."-Hebrews 11:3''

I consider myself a liberal that hasn't gone over to the vinegar of debauchery, so I'll post a general opinion on the I.D. card quagmire.

A national ID card as an issue only arises because of the federal incompetence at controlling the borders from illegal immigration. When people generally arrived in the U.S.A. legally except for some seasonal migrant farm workers, no ID was required at all to get a job in the U.S.A.

Recently I finally got a replacement ID card after a year without. It's first use was to be stopped beyond that oil refinery in Artesia New Mexico to be given the sixth degree by three policemen about why I took a photo of the ugly, deficit producing (for the nation) oil refinery-such changes followed because of incompetent federal border management.

Of course the federal response to waves of illegal immigrants is to promulgate some silly paper solution that would cost millions and millions to implement, perhaps fueling the micro economic black holes federal budget managers are trying to produce with a super-colliding deficit conductor beneath the Washington mint.

The ID plan is like the billions and billions spent on airport security by the federal government and evaluated as ineffective and providing no more security than before the pork flowed to fuel the micro-black hole. Real control is beyond the government's grasp, and they could not return to a nation by the people and for the people, instead of a nation for trans-nationals and volkerwandering migrants from wherever, even if they could read good speeches with teleprompter before friendly lunch crowds.
