You are right. I didn't word it correctly. I meant to say that I talked about those two issues. Yes, one of the main benefits behind introducing National ID is to have better tools in preventing what you mentioned (the whole pilot license thing). I agree that this should really be about that and less about controlling illegals. It's just that website with the original article tried to get immigration into the mix. I just had to say something about that... On 5/18/07, Fergie <fergdawg () netzero net> wrote:

It is nothing less than disingenuous to color this debate on a National ID card as an illegal immigration control issue. After 11 September 2001, the _entire_ impetus for a National ID card (née Real ID) was to put into a place a mechanism to identify people who weren't supposed to be here -- namely terrorists. - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.6.1 (Build 1012) wj8DBQFGTkhrq1pz9mNUZTMRAqLTAJ9AraT0TjCuDmw2G0rCxfnrCxndygCfXgMn 9vfBYaUI/sTGG4275HrhoD4= =cKDF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
