I don't think it should have anything to do with immigration.
National ID could be a replacement for SS card, passports, drivers licences... just like the military does now. I could see it used for voting, maintaining basic health info. I'd love for EMS to be able to know that I'm a heart patient and what medications I am on and what I may be allergic to if they roll up on an accident scene and I'm unconscious or unable to relay that information.
I'm a technology guy and don't buy in to much of the tinfoil hat crap.
This whole "show me your papers" crap is ridiculous... I'm all for one form of ID instead of several that can be forged. Go to any other country in the world and you have to be able to identify yourself. If this helps purge our country of scumbags who shouldn't be here in the first place, I'm all for it.
