1. Secure border. 2. No welfare, jobs for illegals (E-Verify). 3. Illegals will self-repatriate.

Sounds simple, but we need to think this one through: if we had a national ID card and a secure border, then it would be a lot harder for illegals to become established here.

Here in Germany, you cannot register a car, get a driver’s license, open a bank account, enroll your kid in school (or sign an employment contract) without a valid local ID.

I cannot imagine anyone in favor of a national ID card system (even though it would make voter fraud all but impossible as well), nor can I imagine anybody wanting to shell out the investment and ongoing costs of securing and maintaining the border.
