I think that a universal national ID system could help solve or reduce a lot of problems associated with illegal immigration and abuse of social programs, it would totally end the issue of “voter fraud”, and would still be cheaper than building and maintaining a wall.

And it should only be required for major financial transactions (leases and employment/insurance contracts, bank accounts) and, of course, security-related issues.

Well, at this point, a universal national ID system has about the same chances as a 2,000 mile Super Wall along the Mexican border.

As does a complete overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws and regulations.
