3. No serious Immigration reform can occur unless those who belong
here can be identified. I lean Libertarian on issues
like this usually but common sense wins. You will always
be chasing ghosts and constantly fighting over Immigration
until there is a system of identification.

To do this it might best to just offer the pathway to citizenship
and Amnesty for those here now. Then say that is it
and have ID Cards.

What gets me -- Are there people naive enough to believe
the ID card gives the government more access to you.
Believe me, if you are important enough the Government
already knows everthing they want to know about you.
I am not being paranoid -- just realistic.

Making the ID card a boogey man stops Immigration Reform
and keeps it a political issue to be fought out each election.
Perhaps that is what people really want.
