Why We Need National ID Cards

God knows, I never advocated that a free society require identification cards for immigrants, but here we are. There are millions already here; they remain within a huge subculture that can't do anything but talk to each other.

It's too late to do anything else.

It is Not a Social or Race Issue...It's a Health Issue
Dianne Feinstein, Democrat senator from Northern California, made this statement at the beginning of the AIDs epidemic (she was San Fran's mayor). None in the media went apey over the statement, and I hope you won't either. She was right then; I'm right now.

Area hospitals are currently showing a steady increase in cases of TB. Why? Because unchecked immigration brings the third world's teeming masses, bereft of decent, standard healthcare, into our communities. This has gone on for years and years. No one wanted to say anything.

And no, I don't want to send anyone off to a concentration camp, single him out or otherwise ostracize him. Actually, I'd like to help him. Remember, immigrants are natural Republicans.

Hundred of years ago, I honestly believed that we had to stop illegal immigration by most means possible. A lot of people knew the same thing, but were called racists in the meantime. Most of us just shut up, allowing ethnic bosses to pollute the mind of Americans (that's big game, these days).

Well, it's ten or fifteen years later.

Why Nothing Else Will Work
Hey, it won't be so bad. Having one's papers has its benefits.

Not only can we track terrorists or prevent their coming into our country, we can check their ids for vaccinations and legality. So what's wrong with giving immigrants driver's licenses? Wouldn't you rather be hit by a insured driver than one who's running away from the "authorities?"

We can do it, you know. Technology is more than dipping a finger in blue ink. Now we can dip, stamp and file forever on the big government data base in the sky. Don't forget iris scans.

No, it's not pretty. I hate it. But we have to do something. Wouldn't it be easier to chase after people without ids than people with? Let's try it.

If only people had listened, if only. But that was then.

Thanks for the read.
