So, it is in fact a national government ID, you agree?

Is anyone disputing that?

What people are arguing against is that making having a passport mandatory to participate in society is an unreasonable burden, under the current structures. If you wanted to mail a passport to every American in the mail, at no cost, no questions asked, that would be a very different proposition to what is being discussed.

>> What input would you use? There's no unified government ID.

I was responding to that, a few replies up. So, yes, it was disputed. Why do you ask?
