First, of course, is that the GOP wants voter ID in order to combat rampant voter impersonation- which isn't even worth the modest energy to argue over.
They want it to make it harder for more disadvantaged people to vote.
Courts have generally upheld it so I am OK with that but it is fun (and entirely accurate) to say, OK, just make ID universal- and then watch you fall all over yourselves backpedaling becasue the result would be exactly the opposite of your intention.
Also in terms of claiming that you're reasonable on immigration and it is the Ds who are wild eyed open border advocates.
In fairness, The Base has gotten so torqued that it will not accept any compromise whatsoever on immigration, so the GOP has no option but to just keep creating phony crises and throwing meat to them.
I guess I do favor abolishing ICE as an entity that is thoroughly politcally corrupted but there would need to be a branch of the border patrol that would handle immigration enforcement.
In the circumstances that I describe where there is incentive for illegals to come out of the shadows and there's a universal ID and little opportunity for work without it, the need would be more modest.
