Lawmakers are proposing a national identification card — what they’re calling “high-tech, fraud-proof Social Security cards” — that would be required for all employees in the United States.

The proposal by Sen. Charles Schumer (D-New York) and Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-South Carolina) comes as the states are grappling to produce another national identification card at the behest of the Department of Homeland Security. Virtually none of the states are in compliance with this Real ID program — adopted in 2005 — requiring state motor vehicle bureaus to obtain and internally scan and store personal information like Social Security cards and birth certificates for a national database.


I have absolute faith that they will be fraud-proof. After all, it's impossible to hack RFID passports.[/sarcasm]

Nothing is fraud-proof, nothing can't be hacked. I wish people would stop trying to claim otherwise.

They may think they are displaying confidence, but they're just looking like ignorant schmucks to people who know better.

Of course they will be fraud-proof. Only terrorists and illegals commit fraud. Those people we can just shoot. See? Fraud=proof.
