Updating the SSI card from a piece of paper with a name and number typed on it wouldn’t be too difficult. How you get those new cards to everyone is a bit tricky, from a logistical standpoint, but doable nonetheless. But there’d be a lot of push back, there always is when it comes to national ID card talk, or at least there always has been in the past. Maybe that’s different now.

SSI is not citizenship, but it is at least proof of legal residence. And the logistics of such a thing are small compared to the cost of building an artificial barrier across thousands of miles of desert and rough terrain.

And anyone who complains about illegal immigration, voter fraud or social service abuse needs to shut the fuck up about a simple solution used by nearly every other civilized nation in the world. In Germany, it is impossible to open a bank account, register a car, enroll a child in school or even sign a lease or employment contract without presenting proof of legal residence.
