I'm not blaming any person or party for the failure to launch on this proposal. Both parties are afraid to do anything about it because it just might decrease their Hispanic votes.

I am in favor of it, fyi. Clinton tried to push it through it '93 and both sides slammed him hard.

Good read - gives both pros and cons. A lot of the cons are "fear mongering". That nutcase Ron Paul says the government will implant some kind of chip whereby everyone can be tracked. HUH?!

Keep it simple - proof of citizenship gets you a National photo ID photo. Perhaps it can be counterfeited - just spend money on the technology whereby it can't.

Better yet - make it VOLUNTARY - not mandatory. Wonder how many people would go for it. HMMMmmmmmm - think the go for its would far outnumber the hell no's.
