Being a conservative, I like more than others hate governmental intrusion. However, I think that it is a fools errand to demand that the government protect us, and then not to provide the government with the tools necessary to do the job.

I believe that provisions of our this bill provide some of those tools necessary. I also believe that it is a good first step in outlawing the practice of allowing the very government that is meant to protect us from issuing identification to illegal immigrants. Regardless of how you feel over the immigration topic, one thing is very clear, when government rewards criminals, something is wrong.
