Once upon a time a real American did not have "Papers" to conduct his daily life and certainly not to prove that he was one. But increasingly it has become impossible in some cases to live the same way without government issued evidence of acceptability.
The home schoolers, home birthers, and self-employed are frequently outside of the "system" and could in many cases live their entire lives without being numbered until now. And because the tyrants require everyone to be registered from birth and for every activity in life, they must eventually resort to their favorite methods of gaining compliance: inspections, compulsory record keeping by third parties, and bribes--called benefits.
The deeper purpose is to coral everyone into a united nation rather than having separate societies which some may call separate states. All done under the cover of Illegal Aliens, which have been an American problem since the beginning. Only this generation tried to register everyone to solve the problem however, and it appears more a reflection on the utilitarian morals of the people than some new method.
The problems that the New Patriots are causing are deserving of an old patriots reply but they have all been registered and refuse to resist. One victim, Stephanie Solis, expressed the divide best:
"Her life had become one of compromises -- commuting six hours a day on public transit because she couldn’t get a driver’s license... Solis started at UCLA, but because of her immigration status, paying for school was a major burden. Undocumented students are ineligible for financial aid, scholarships and many other types of financial assistance to help pay the fees.
But it was the smaller realities of being undocumented -- such as trouble cashing checks and getting a library card -- that really got to her.
“It is the subtle things that flick me on the forehead reminding me that there is something wrong with who I am,” Solis said.
Like many undocumented college graduates, Solis will have difficulty finding a job without proof of legal residence, despite her degree from a top undergraduate program."
The start of the ID craze began with an evangelical Christian congressman who regarded the Mexican to be greater threat to religious liberty than the state. Even the hatred that his alleged god has for numbering people could not restrain him, but he had help from Jewish congressmen who forgot the camps.
