All of the driving on our Colorado trip made us think a lot about cars.

We connected cars with immigration when we heard on the radio that ICE was going to start auditing companies to see if they were hiring illegals.  See my story about the insanity of this idea. Why is it that Americans can keep near perfect track of our cars with VIN numbers and registrations yet we can’t or won’t keep track of people as carefully?  The idea of a national ID card is opposed by both the far left and the far right.  My idea a few years ago was to have Mastercard and Visa issue the cards so that the government could not abuse the system as easily or screw it up.  The “RealID” idea that gives the states the task of doing it for the Federal government is doomed because it has become too political.
