When Guiterrez was talking about a social security, ID card with picture that would have to be swiped when you start a job, I was thinking National ID. Would that be a national ID?

I think it’d count. The problem would be in maintaining the security of the document itself, not to mention the civil liberties implications of a state of affairs that would require citizens to provide evidence that they are legally present in the land of their birth when, as a matter of policy, demanding that those not citizens or permanent residents carry evidence of their legal presence has been deemed a violation of civil and human rights.

I;m ambivalent about a national ID card or system, to tell you the truth.
