Morrigoon and Alex have stated my major reasons against and why I am not so against the national ID card.
I hate the concept, but in essence we already do have one. In all reality it is next to impossible to do anything without your social security number, and that, as we know, isn't very secure.
I am against big government. However, since one of the only Constitutionally mandated functions of the feds is to protect and control our borders (and therefore control the flow of people into it), it might be a valid function as a tool to get people out that don't belong.
