Ntl. ID cards won't stop terrorism or illegal immigration.

Here's a rather interesting website about it created by the ACLU.

The senate unanimously approved the national ID card.

Many organizations are jumping on board with the ACLU to fight the national ID card, including all manner of organizations including those from all across the political spectrum.

There is legislation being introduced in the senate that could amend the Real ID act in a positive way.

Its the same thing as a drivers license only it works for every state...

(1) You have to memorize all 50 ID cards from different states.
(2) One ID card.

It makes it harder for people to make fake drivers licenses or for fugitives to drive around in other states.

There are and should be limmits to what we will do to catch criminals.  If it was easier to catch criminals if we lived in a surveillance society, that doesn't mean we should strive toward such a society.  A huge reduction in liberty for only a tiny increase in security for your average person should be rejected. 

It's an ID card, not some surveillance program. Many other countries have national ID cards, and they haven't turned into police states.

I fully support the idea of a national id card with a tracking chip embedded in it.

If by tracking chip you mean "a chip that gives information when scanned at extremely close range by a specialized RFID tag scanner", I suppose so. A fucking nametag is more accessible than a RFID chip.

That and a GPS embedded in the chip

"Excuse me, could you show me your ID, I want to know what the current lattitude and longitude is, and I left mine at home."
