Alright, I don't want a Bash Mitch or Mitch for President thread. I'm trying to ask an honest question.
What is the purpose of the new id?
Is it for voting purposes? If so, we already have to show a photo id prior to voting, and if it's an issue of voter registration, then that's a seperate department from the bmv.
Is it to keep illegals from obtaining a drivers license? If they came here illegally, work here illegally, and potentially participate in other illegal activities, then why wouldn't they drive without a "secure id"?
Why do I have to submit my banking account, or other various financial account information, to the government in order to obtain driving priveledges? I realize it's not a "right", but is that the loophole they're using for this? It's now equivelent to obtaining a passport with all of their required documentation.
Fortunately, you don't have to give any financial info. You can show your birth certificate, social security card, voter registration, and LTCH and satisfy their requirements.
The reason for the new ID is ostensibly to verify the identity, lawful status, Indiana residency, and SSN of the person holding it. I do not think this "Secure ID" is a good thing nor do I think it is secure when they mail the da*n thing to you after the fact... What, no one can swipe a D.L. from a mailbox?
Blessings,
Bill
