Resist the “Real I.D."

This new “Real I.D.” has come to my attention over the past couple days.  It’s an understatement for me to say I AM NOT PLEASED.   Real IDRead this article from CNN.com.  And check out this from Wikipedia:   Real ID ActREAL ID Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Our own people will require us, legal citizens and VOTERS, to PROVE who we are when applying for this new card.  Before a card can be issued, we’ll have to show photo ID, documentation of birth date, docs of social security number, docs of current address, docs of legal status, and on and on. 

They’ll even take your picture BEFORE you apply, just to have you in the system.

All this info will be shared with other states and, get this, CANADA AND MEXICO!!!

How ‘bout that!!

Oh yeah, and there’s gunna be a hologram of no, not the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, but the NORTH AMERICAN CONTINENT.  What’s that all about?

This Real ID will be required to GET A JOB and OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT.  WHAT’S A JOB AND BANK ACCOUNTS HAVE TO DO WITH HIGHTENED SECURITY AND 9/11?

This is some kind of hyper-fascist-Orwellian-nightmare.

It’s obvious to me that our lame politicians find it easier and prefer to track US rather than illegal immigrants and foreigners entering this country legally.  We are all doing our thing, working and paying taxes.  We need to drive and have bank accounts, so the feds are capitalizing on that and using our own good natures to ENSLAVE US AND TRACK US.

Yes, track.  The card has the common magnetic strip and possibly a micro chip.  And there is technology now that can read cards from many feet away without a “swipe.”  So, no doubt couple this with video cameras everywhere and face recognition software, remote card readers that pick you up and record your presence not only upon entering banks, but also ice cream parlors or hair cutting places. 

Nice.

There is no reason for OUR government to squeeze Americans when they should be tracking down illegals.  Apparently it is more humane to violate American Citizens’ privacy than it is to ask if a migrant is here legally.

All we have to do is show proof of citizenship when applying for a driver’s license, and I do believe I had to show a birth certificate when I first received my ID.   Then the ID will work with employers as proof of citizenry.  The illegals will get weeded out while we keep the same kinds of ID’s and while letting the states take care of it. 

No privacy problems.

Isn’t it SMARTER, easier and less money to heighten security by identifying “12 to 20 million undocumented workers” rather than oppressing 300 million American Citizens?

Well, it’s at least smarter.

RESIST THE “REAL ID” AND WRITE YOUR REPS TO TRACK DOWN NON-AMERICAN CITIZENS FIRST FOR SECURITY—FOR GOODNESS SAKE, WE ALREADY KNOW WHERE WE ARE, THERE’S 20 MILLION ILLEGALS RUNNING AROUND OUT THERE AND Chertoff DOESN’T SEEM TO CARE.
