Kevin, you're obviously well educated about this subject. What are some of the negative effects we have seen from having so many illegals in the country?
From what I can tell, the most negative effect to having more Mexicans in the country is that it has made American racism more apparent than it previously was.

To be clear - a driver's license was not going to be considered valid support of citizenship since you don't have to have citizenship to have a valid driver's license.
So what the hell is wrong with carrying something that shows you're legal? I do. I have a CCW (Concealed Weapons Permit). You can't have one if you're undocumented and law enforcement knows exactly who you are before you even pull it out.

How so? Also, what are the negative effects, beside the racist one?

It is unconstitutional. Government cannot force people to carry with them at all times, identification proving they are citizens.

And? How would you like to be put in jail because you forgot to bring along your CCW card? No big deal right?

Do you really want to live in a "papers, please" society?

You don't see a difference between requiring someone to carry ID because they're carrying a concealed weapon and carrying ID because they live in this country?
There are simple solutions to this mess.
Stop giving free social services to illegal immigrants. That would be a step in the right direction.
But it's not quite that simple, either.
Recognizing that illegal immigrants really are doing jobs that Americans generally won't do would be another step toward dealing with the immigration problem.

Actually, Kevin,
It is a big deal.
If I am carrying a concealed weapon and do not have my CCW in my possession, I will be arrested. My permit will be revoked and I will pay a fine.
