@AC "Border Hawk"
What you said. Plus national Identity cards. Most illegal aliens are overstays, not border jumpers. It's not just a question of who's in/who's out. Also the "authorities" need to be able to stop people in the street and check their status. It's what we voted for!!!! Can't make an omelette without breaking eggs!
@Shalghar
No need to copy/digitise the passport/ID. The photo and info is already stored on it. (Including a low re photo) Just download it. You can even print it out to stick in the passport so the forces of law and order can check your immigration status in the street.
