I've also heard it referred to as "Real ID".  What is it?  Why are so many people opposed to it?  Can anyone give me details about this?  Or can you direct me to a good website that talks about all of this?

A National ID Card is a proposed card, like a drivers license that would be issued to all citizens and would be used to get through airports, borders, etc. The problem in this is that it could be used by future dictatorial regimes to deny travel and employment to their opponents.

Somebody started this thing & I can't believe so many people fell for it!  I support the people who wish to become Citizens of the U.S.  If they don't want to be legal, they should be fingerprinted, photographed, & held until such time as our government can do a background check on them.  If they clear, then they should be given a temporary citizenship status with a temporary SS#.  If they are in violation of our laws, they should be deported or jailed.  I was born in the U.S. & I have to follow the law, so why shouldn't everyone!

WHY would you want this? It would make easier for identity theft if they have your credit card number and driver license number. It is plain crazy.

nothing is going to happen. Make a new ID. I've gone through that 2ice.

That's a great question.  They did the same thing to me.  I even sent them multiple emails inquiring about the situation but never received a response.  I had the ID for several years and had never had a problem before.

i think you are correct and it is getting to that point, the police in my opinion have way to much leeway!! the other day, i was in a car with my friend who was speeding, she got pulled over and the officer wanted my ID also!!! why, i was not driving the car, i did not break the law at all, yet if i don't turn over my ID i can go to jail for failure to provide ID. this is terrible and i feel it is not right.

That is why "W" wants bio/digital ID's for "guest" workers.  The US embassies, abroad, are already using digital fingerprinting/DNA coding for applications for visas.  The technology is there, the cost is NOT that high.  Of course, under Slick Willie, we would ALL be required to carry them.

The internet identity that you carry is separate from the identity that you have in your daily life. the difference between the two could perhaps explain why you feel that it is not "real life." Also interaction over the internet is even colder than a phone call, so I can sypathize with you.

Unfortunately, no. I think it is ridiculous. All they asked for what my birthday and address, which anyone who knows me or who has seen my driver's license would know. \n\nI think the Republicans were talking about making a new law about having to show ID when voting but I don't know what happened with it.

I have NEVER heard of such a thing. It'd be better for you if you provided actual sources instead of spreading false information.\n\nGoogle pulls up nothing with that name. WHERE you come up with these things?

why do you use the ID of others to ask personal questions dear? it is not good for you, make an ID for yourself by clicking on sign up link in yahoo answers. \nother information are given to you in other answers.

I wouldn't want to use my real name. With so much technology out there, it's frightening to think what someone could do with info even as small as your name.

You don't need to feel about it either way because it is not true. There is a program that allows LEGAL residents to enter the military which can help speed up the path to citizenship. Fair enough deal, enter the country legally and perform such a service to the country and they should be citizens. What you are talking about is the newest rumor out there because of the immigration debate. Recently they found a girl who had bought fake identity papers in LA and joined the military. Apparently she did quite well in her job. She was found out because the person who's identity was stolen figured this out after 2 1/2 years through the social security office. They would always be found out that way with taxes and such especially in the military. But the do gooders and those with an agenda are saying that she shouldn't be prosecuted as she served in the military. Well it's the same with all of the rest of the issue. The key words are NOT LEGAL. No if's ands or buts.

How about the U.S. Census?  \n\nA database of everyone would not be feasible to update and maintain and impossible to verify.  If people are going to defraud the government, they will find ways to do so.

I'll join you bud. \nI've still not heard of a valid reason for having them. Stopping crime? Will it hell. And it'll spawn a whole new world of fraud with people making fake ones. Stop illegal immigration? They'll just buy one from Camden Market. \nAll I can think of is the safety in numbers...like the poll tax. www.no2id.net is a good place to start.

Everyone has to provide identification to rent from someone. I did not hear that one yet, it is just as lame as the race card. Ignore whoever said that.
