If you don't understand what the problem is w/ these "ID cards" I suggest reading 1984.

@burnstagger And some people say we should go back to our country but most kids have been here since they were toddlers or younger and dont know how to read or write their language of origin and even if the kids want to go back the parents are the ones who decide most kids just want to stay in america and study and go to college but most of them never get the chance the few who do go to college and graduate have a harder time finding jobs then everyone else.

I have no idea regarding the credibility of either fellow here, or the integrity of eithers institutions, but the guy on the right, Stein, completely smeared Mr Nowrasteh. I think that a lot of people watching this interview will believe that Alex has nefarious intentions and his argument is insincere. And maybe he does, but these stupid 4 minute long debates do not lend themselves to dissecting an issue. They're just about who can throw the most mud. Also the host was useless, they usually are.
