Tamper-Proof ID

Ron Paul said that a tamper-proof ID for immigrants will eventually lead to a national ID. The government would have to provide people who look like immigrants with an ID because there is no way to tell who is and who isn’t an illegal immigrant in the first few years of the program. Since the government wouldn’t want to get into ethnic profiling, soon everybody, legal or not, would have to have an ID, he argued.

“I think it opens the door for the national ID and we should be very careful about that.”
