Texas Two-Step

[melanoman]

The Texas GOP seems to have removed their party platform from their website. You can still find it at the Texas Tribune.

The Platform states

Except for non-citizens, we further oppose any national ID program.

The context goes on to defy the urban legend of a government conspiracy from hell to put the mark of the Beast on everyone, with the old fear of UPC tattoos updated as RFID tags.

How the hell are people whose citizenship is questioned supposed to verify their legal status?

Except for the following types of ID programs:

"Driver Licenses – We propose that every Texas driver license shall indicate whether the driver is a U.S. citizen. No such documentation shall be issued to anyone not legally in the country."

"Enact legislation to require Voter ID."

Obviously, if a person doesn't drive and isn't a registered voter, they're not really a US citizen. The problem just solves itself!
