Mr. Chairman. I rise in support of the McCollum amendment. This is not a national identification card. nothing could be further from the truth to make this argument. We have to look and. first off. answer a simple question: Do we have an illegal immigration problem? The answer usually comes back. yes. we do. If we do. then we have to use all of the tools available to us to help solve the problem. We currently have the technology to make identification cards highly resistant to counterfeiting. I do not know why we do not use it. Frankly. I believe we need to look beyond the Social Security card. as the previous speaker just mentioned. and apply this same technology that we have available to birth certificates and the other documents used to verify ones status in our country.
