Since one can duplicate almost any for of Identification these days, a card system is right out.
I agree with the education and fee based system. Make them truly invest in their future by paying a fee, and somehow find a way to truly educate them about the History of this country.
Whether you like the politics, the President or not, this NOT Deep Space Nine, it's not wayport for transient souls to come take advantage of the welfare system, not vote, not pay taxes, fuck like rabbits and have multiple children at will (for us citizens to pay for) and otherwise just "hang out" and smoke fuggin dope all day.
We can all celebrate our heritage, but let me say this:
My family has been in this country since 1840, my country is America. I will waive the AMERICAN flag anywhere I damn well please in AMERICA. Celebrate where you are from, that's fine, fly your flags, that's fine, but DO NOT FORGET that you live here, in America. Pay taxes like the rest of us.
