How would you feel about having a national ID card?
There are lots of good reasons, even outside of immigration issues for an ID card. I.e. Lots of older American's are having a hard time getting Medicaid cuz they are so old they don't have many docs like Passports, birth certificates, etc to prove who they are.
Face it, "the terrorists" or their threat, have won some ground here in the US. We are nearly strip searched every time when we board a commercial airliner. Our bags are searched, our bodies xrayed etc. We are not as free as we used to be and this is due to in part, terrorism.
Isn't it time for a national ID and data bank if we wish to protect our country, our borders, our education and social healthcare sytems, our freedoms and our tax dollars at work for our best interests?

YES YES YES YES YES YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we should require people to show it in order to vote.
Some of you are missing the point. There will be a card, and a nationwide database, and the card will be electronically readible and will have biometric data like a fingerprint so you can prove that the person in front of you is the person authorized on the database.
It isn't a matter of forging it. If you aren't in the national database, it does you no good to have the card.

Nope, a new national ID card would just 'create jobs' in Tijuana.
Physically denying access to/from the United States and Mexico is the Right Answer on this one. Mexico's likely formed a whole industry around getting people into the United States one way or another, legally or otherwise they really don't care as long as they're getting people into our country. What americans need, rather than a 'magic' card, is unity on the issue of showing Mexico the door, kindly but firmly, and closing it after them.
Mexico's been a so-so business partner for the United States, but every year, more and more money flows out of the US and into Mexico. The ACLU and other groups are 'stepping on the fence' so to speak to let mexicans in, but in my view a thorough investigation of those groups and their sponsors is long-overdue.
Drugs, oil, and remittances are 3 ways that Mexico's getting money out of the United States. Now, if your family was in Mexico, and you knew they were staring down the barrel of a no-jobs economy with a corrupt government, I wouldn't blame you for sending them money. Multiply that situation times 12 million, and that's where we're at with this, I think. The Real Problem is that there's more mexicans than there are jobs, and frankly there's not a damn thing you can do about THAT ratio without either creating more jobs, or shooting people. Since the first one doesn't seem to be happening, and the second one's blatantly immoral, the US is the 'easy out' on that problem, but the problem with help is that it breeds reliance. And, we've 'helped' Mexico in so many ways that we're to the point now where we may as well hand em the keys, in some ways.

It just sounds like another document Americans will have to carry that some illegal can steal and use, just as they are doing with every other form of ID Americans have. I really don't want to have to pay for another worthless ID that I will spend years trying to clear after an illegal steals it. I already have three of those, thank you

If they can come up with a tamper proof valid ID system....perhaps in conjunction with drivers licenses or something....then that would be a viable solution. There have been over 100 document producing shops last year shut down. Let's work to put them out of business.

If you think that any illegal alien is going to stop from coming across the boarder because they don't have a special ID card, then you're a moron. There will always be jobs here for them and they will always come, its a fact of life.
