I think part of the issue is the active participation. The individual didn't get ID for his or herself.
Would it be discrimination of a person of any racial background does not pack his or her parachute correctly, or does not put a parachute on at all, and then jumps out of a plane?
This is what personal responsibility is all about. And that, as we all know, is a principle of conservativism.
