Answer 5

I think we should have identity cards with our fingerprints on them, so that we can't suffer identity theft, which is very much on the rise.The world has become a very different place in the last few years with the influx of people from corrupt cultures where crime has been accepted as the way to survive.

Answer 6

what wrong with a drivers license? lets see that has been used for over 50 years, seems to work, no?

And illegal aliens are going to come threw ID card or not. The govt has to address that problem with something more than a ID card.

Another thing, why should we WASTE more tax money on this c**p? how much is it going to cost the govt getting this into affect? more than it is worth that is for sure.

Answer 7

We need them to stop the terrorist from getting drivers licenses, to stop voter fraud, and to crack down on illegals.
