I'm sure there are more instances, but the point is that we citizens of the USA are required to prove who we are nearly every day. Why should people in this country illegally be exempt?

GO ARIZONA!!!

[kenhwind]

Exactly!!!!!!

[Rich-D]

However, no proof is required to show that you are a US citizen in order to become President of the US and sue a State trying to protect itself from Illegal Aliens. :mad:

[R.D.Wylie]

The ILLEGALS don't have to show ID because the polications don't want the rest of
country to know how many are here!!

[rjm713]

It all boils down to the Fifth Amendment---you can't be required to convict yourself--which shouldn't apply to a non-citizen anyway. And add creating a Bank Account to Pappys list.

[R.D.Wylie]

I wonder if you show ID to get a GREEN CARD. I grew up in TEXAS where there is
more ILLEGALS than there are leaves on the trees,And the sad fact is they have
COYOTES that summgle them across faster than INS can take them back,and they
do work the nasty hot jobs AMERICANS WONT OR DON'T WANT TO DO!!! AND alot
of them get on welfare. I have seen a lot of them live three and four families to a
three bedroom apt.

Here is another list that I hijacked from John Travis who hijacked it from The Law Dog Files

Unashamedly stolen from: Tales from Texas: The Law Dog Files

Hypocrisy, much?

If I want to buy a bottle of bourbon -- which I have the right to do -- I have to provide some form of State-issued photo ID to do so.

And the Federal Government is not only okay with this, the Federal Government encourages it.

If I want to drive my pick-up on a public road in the State of Texas -- which I have the right to do -- I have to provide a specific form of State-issued photo ID to do so.

And the Federal Government is not only okay with this, the Federal Government encourages it.

If I want to exercise my right -- a right guaranteed by name in the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States -- to buy a firearm from a dealer, I have to provide some form of State-issued photo ID to do so.

And the Federal Government is not only okay with this, the Federal Government actively encourages this. At the point of a gun, sometimes.

If I wish to board an aeroplane to travel to some other part of these United States -- which I have a right to do -- I have to provide some form of State-issued photo ID to do so.

And the Federal Government is not only okay with this, the Federal Government mandates it.

I opened an account at a credit union recently. I had to provide a picture ID -- mandated by the Federal Government -- to do so.

The Constitution guarantees my right to keep and bear arms. The Federal Government says, "If you show ID first."

I have the right to travel -- Ninth Amendment to the US Constitution -- the Federal Government says, "If you show ID first."

I have the right to buy booze. "Show ID first."

I have the right to buy tobacco. "ID, please."

I have the right to rent a P.O. Box. The Feds demand that I show ID.

I have the right to open a bank account. IF I show ID first.

.Mr. Holder and the US Department of Justice will break the Fed.Gov's foot off in someones butt if you do any of the above -- or more -- without ID. And he -- they -- are perfectly okay with this.

Hmph.

Voting is a right which when misused or subverted creates far more damage, damage that lasts for far longer, than any use of a firearm. Than any boarding of a plane. Than any drive down a highway

But have one State decide to ask for ID before exercising another right -- the right to vote -- then Holder, the DOJ and the Fed.Gov decide that it violates the Constitution.

Every other right, it's okay to demand that we show ID before enjoying such right.

Huh.

I haven't checked yet -- if you look up the word "hypocrite" in the dictionary, is there a picture attached? Of whom?

[kenhwind]

You can't rig elections if everyone has to show ID

[Bea Dogworthy]

I agree with all of you on this one. I think we absolutely need to require photo ID for someone to vote. It helps keep everyone honest and accountable and also prevents illegals from voting and dead people from voting and certain other people from voting over and over in the same election.
