Damn! This ain't no immigration bill!

[txaslftist]

I just read a summary of HR 418, the so-called immigrant driver's license bill...

This is a persecuted foreigners can't get asylum in the USA anymore bill!

This bill is a national ID card bill!

This bill is a suspension of child labor and environmental law bill!

This bill is a build a free-fire zone border with Mexico bill!

This bill is a huge-ass bill! This bill is bullshit!

Be Paul Revere, man, tell your congressman to shitcan this bill!

1. From Ron Paul, Texas congressman...

“Nationalizing standards for drivers licenses and birth certificates, and linking them together via a national database, creates a national ID system pure and simple. Proponents of the national ID understand that the public remains wary of the scheme, so they attempt to claim they’re merely creating new standards for existing state IDs. Nonsense! This legislation imposes federal standards in a federal bill, and it creates a federalized ID regardless of whether the ID itself is still stamped with the name of your state.”

“Those who are willing to allow the government to establish a Soviet-style internal passport system because they think it will make us safer are terribly mistaken,” Paul concluded. “Subjecting every citizen to surveillance and screening points actually will make us less safe, not in the least because it will divert resources away from tracking and apprehending terrorists and deploy them against innocent Americans! Every conservative who believes in constitutional restraints on government should reject the authoritarian national ID card and the nonsensical intelligence bill itself.”
