I would like to discuss personal identification and propose a universal solution to our existing problem.  EVERYONE has to use some form of identification very frequently for many things they do. And, I have heard so much about immigrant identification it makes me sick!  Worldwide, there is one accepted means of personal identification - a PASSPORT issued by the country of your citizenship.  Nothing else should be acceptable!  If a food store or a bar wants to accept a drivers license issued by a state, OK.  But for ANYONE applying for school, a federal program, or a job, or to fly on an airplane, etc. you should have to show a valid passport issued by the country of your citizenship.  Personal identity cards are not necessary.  If you are a legal immigrant, you will be issued proper documentation so stating by the US government inside your national passport.  Then, when applying for any federal program or any job, the applicant would have to show their passport as well.  If it is not a legally issued US passport, you would have show legal documents (such as some type visa in your passport) issued by the US government stating that you are legally in the US and are permitted to work and apply for certain federal programs.  Otherwise, you will be told to return to your own country, it will be documented, and if an immigrant tries again they will be detained, fined and/or then deported. 

The USIP would require all US citizens to have a US Passport, or Passport Card. That is not a racial thing. If a citizen does not currently have one, the Federal fees will be waived for your first Passport Card which is valid for 10 years.  The Passport Card is a relatively new document which is just a synopsis of the identity page of a US Passport, on a card.  It couldn't be used for international air travel or for ship or car entry into countries other than Canada and Mexico and a few others, but would meet the requirements of the act, and would be issued at no charge to US citizens by the US government.

The first would be issued at birth, and would only be an I.D. card to be valid for 6 years and would include the child's Name, Birth Date, father's Name and Nationality, Mother's Name and Nationality, and thumbprints of both thumbs. At age 6 the child would get their first normal picture Passport or Passport Card to be good for 6 years, at age 12 it would be renewed for 6 more years, and finally at age 18, a standard 10 year passport, or Passport Card, would be issued. The 6 year frequency while in school, would provide updated photo identification as the child grows. After your first Passport Card expires, a new one only costs $30 to renew. Anyone found having forged documentation will be fined $100,000, and if you are an immigrant, additionally, they will be detained until their proper country of origin can be determined. Once determined, and the fine has been paid, that person will be deported to the capital of the country of which they are a legal citizen.
