I like the idea of a national identity card that states your citizenship, but I
adamantly oppose making it mandatory that you carry it and produce it at the
whim of some pig cop. You show it when it is in *your* interest to show it,
e.g., when you want to get a passport. There are lots of voluntary transactions
you might enter into — opening a bank account, for example — where the other
party to the transaction has a valid need to have proof of identity. If you
don't want to show your ID, then you won't get to complete the transaction —
your choice. But having that piece of ID that proves your citizenship can be
valuable to you.
At present, there is no requirement to carry ID and show it at the whim of some
pig cop. If you're out in public and not driving a motor vehicle and some pig
cop stops you and demands to see ID, you can tell him to fuck off, and that is
good and proper.

We should let in all the immigrants who want to come here, but they should not
get to create a U.S. citizen merely by giving birth here. That's just wrong.
