We already do have ID and photo. All that is missing is the thumbprint. Does foot print count? I would not care because we are all open books anyway to the government.

Why not? MAybe because I do not believe in giving up my rights and being punished because of the actions of others?
So the fucking answer is a resounding...

In once sense we have a national ID in our driver's licenses...check out the bar code(s) on the back. I remember when Massachusetts issued a license with an expanded bar code in order to come into line with other states on creating a national standard of sorts. But...
but...we are NOT required by law to carry and produce the license upon request by some power hungry moron in an ill fitting suit.

Fair enough.
I have to admit, I did NOT expect this poll to be a 50 / 50 split at this point.
New poll!
How many of y'all have a Social Security number on a flimsy paper card you're not supposed to laminate? Isn't that just a national ID that's pretty easy to forge?

ID cards are a sensible measure for any civilized society, especially given our other concerns regarding people illegally crossing our borders.

I would support a national ID. It seems the next logical step dealing with illegal immigration and terrorism. I haven't read a convincing argument that it would have serious negative repercussions. These arguments sound more like paranoid anti-government hysteria than compelling reasoning.

Really? Any liberal or freedom loving American should be horrified at the idea that we give up our freedoms because of fears of shitheads.

We already do have ID cards ... what difference would it be?

Really? Is your head always up your head with ass backwards statements? The government has NOT made a compelling case FOR a national ID.
So you and your kind want us to be more like the commies and fascists of China, USSR et al...?
why not? » NO2ID
use google and see what others have to say on this matter

Hell ... many states now have micro ships in their ID's .... I just don't see how anything more would possibly help.

Two things.
One, I don't see how carrying an ID card is an infringement of any freedoms whatsoever. It isn't heavy, it fits in your pocket, and it doesn't even have GPS. You can probably even use it to pick cheap door locks.
Two, I'm not "liberal" by either the classical or the modern definition.
National ID cards are a positive step toward enhancing the security of our country without intrusive police measures. They allow us to conveniently determine who belongs in this country and who does not, allow us to identify persons living and dead in a timely fashion, and ID cards using modern information storage technology can allow us to make a number of government services and functions more efficient and more convenient for law-abiding citizens. Depending on what information is encoded upon them-- what information "civil libertarians" allow to be encoded on them-- they can be used to provide life-saving information to EMTs and other first responders, help keep sexual predators away from areas frequented by children, and virtually eliminate voter fraud.

You are going to have to help me out here... I can't think of even one single thing that I can do now (with or without the governments 'permission') that I would not be able to do if I had a card in my possession that proved I was a US citizen....
The only thing that comes to mind is employ illegals, assuming I ran a company that employed people.
Please help me out with a short list of freedoms I would be giving up.
Thanks in advance!

And what, pray tell, would you recommend that we do with all of the Mexicans living there?
We can't even assimilate the couple million that come here every year. How are we going to integrate hundreds of millions of them into our society?

Interesting web site, but they talk about things like data bases - which corporations already maintain and would not hesitate trading and / or selling to the highest bidder if not for government intervention. I know most marketing firms would pay dearly to down load our current Social Security Administration data base... what would be the harm in trading in our flimsy paper cards for ID cards that expire with a photo, making it more difficult for 5 or 6 Mexicans to get a SSN card with the same US birth certificate?

I don't care about the databases, not paranoid so I don't see what harm they could do. As for anything else, really, what else could we do? I just don't see how they can make it less possible for forge without finding an excuse to charge us even more.

First thing... the weight, size and features of an ID card/chip would not be what any rational person would use as a standard against which to judge the infringement of rights upon. WTF are you talking about?Really? Any liberal or freedom loving American should be horrified at the idea that we give up our freedoms because of fears of shitheads.

One, I don't see how carrying an ID card is an infringement of any freedoms whatsoever. It isn't heavy, it fits in your pocket, and it doesn't even have GPS. You can probably even use it to pick cheap door locks.
then you have my pity as well as my contempt.
positive step? you're a freakin' nut!
the 'potential' upside of anything listed above is overshadowed by the minutest downside. I do NOT want to be forced by any government agent (read: hack, idiot, moron with badge and ill-fitteing suit/and gun) to produce an ID to walk freely around my own country in pursuit of happiness.

Dev, your last point, why do you think that would happen?

Just as with the gun issue...there are already enough laws to deal with illegal aliens. Enforce those and leave the rest of us normal Americans alone.
the freedom to walk around my own country unimpeded by the demands of proving who I am and that I hjave THE RIGHT toi be here...just because the government is unable and unwilling to enforce the border security.
people like you and others here who want to punish the rest of us in order to do a runaround of the government is making me angry enough to support sterilization for stupid people.
