US adopts National ID: Homeland Security Now In charge of Regulations for
all US States Drivers Licenses and Birth Certificates
Jonathan Wheeler | December 10 2004
In a chilling act
more reminiscent of the now defunct Soviet Union or the
Nazi regime of Adolph Hitler, the United States Congress passed legislation
yesterday that requires the States to surrender their regulatory rights
over driver's licenses and birth certificates to The Department of Homeland
Security.
The massive US Intelligence Reform Bill weighed in at over 3,000 pages and
though unread by individual Members of either the House or Senate
nevertheless passed all of the legislative hurdles needed in order to
become law.
Beginning in 2005, the Department of Homeland Security will issue new
uniformity regulations to the States requiring that all Drivers Licenses
and Birth Certificates meet minimal Federal Standards with regard to US
citizen information, including biometric security provisions.
Added to currently existing Federal Laws and Supreme Court rulings American citizens when born will be issued a Social Security Number that will be included on their Birth Certificates, along with DNA biometric markers. All birth certificates will also be registered in a Federal Government database
maintained by the Department of Homeland Security. No child will be allowed enrollment to schools or be entitled to either State of Federal Government benefits programs without first presenting a certified Homeland Security registered Birth Certificate.
Drivers Licenses will also contain DNA biometric markers and include the
holders Social Security Number and be required for receiving and applying
for all State and Federal benefits programs. Previous Supreme Court rulings
have also upheld State and Federal Law Enforcement authorities right to
request Identification from any American citizen, for any reason and at any
time as not being violations of their, the citizens, constitutionally
protected rights.
Major Banks and credit card companies have applauded the adoption of a
National ID system as being important to counter fraud and increasing
instances of identity theft. National ID cards with biometric markers will
eliminate them from having to issue Credit and Debit cards, which for the
first time in US history have surpassed the usage of checks and cash.
Utilizing The Department of Homeland Securities centralized federal
database, Banks and credit card companies will only require the
presentation of a citizens Driver's License to make purchases as all of the
persons financial information, including credit and cash balances, will
already be known in 'real time'. (The combining of Homeland Security and
Banking databases on citizen's balances and purchases, along with their
past and present purchasing information, has been allowed under previous
Federal Laws including the Patriot Act.)
Also included in this bill is a law to require The Department of Homeland
Security to establish a separate ID system for citizens to use prior to
boarding airplanes, and which is eerily reminiscent of the Soviet and Nazi
regimes dreaded Internal Passport.
Never before in our history have the words of Benjamin Franklin been so
correct when he stated: "people willing to trade their freedom for
temporary security deserve neither and will lose both".
Today, December 9, 2004 will be one of those moments in time that future
historians will look back on and pin point as being the day that the United
States of American, and as it was founded by its forefathers, ceased to exist.

President
Bush lobbied hard for these provisions, only objecting when
Senator Sensenbrenner attempted to require these same provisions for
illegal aliens but which the President opposed. This provision was dropped from the final bill.
