I resolve to resist any form of national id.

The reality of the national id card is here. It is being billed as an answer to the illegal immigrant problem when the answer to the problem is that the government should be enforcing the laws that are already in place. Employers already have the programs in place to ensure the eligibility of workers for instance, and there are reasonable laws in place that mandate compliance.

The existence of the national id program will allow the government to more closely monitor all personal and private activities such as the purchase of firearms, homes, and even down to groceries and gasoline. The only thing between monitoring and allowing or limitation of such things is an act of congress and a stroke of the president’s pen, which can happen in a day.
