Newt supported an immigration bill that created a de facto National ID Card. I would like some more info on this if anyone can find it. Please discuss.
National ID Card (http://www.jonchristianryter.com/2001/NatlID.html) - John Christian Ryter
Selected to create not only the House version of the Immigration Reform Act of 1996 into which the National ID Card (camouflaged as a national drivers’ license) was a “conservative” Republican, Congressman Lamar Smith [R-TX]. Smith’s job was to quietly lobby his fellow Congressmen and get the National ID Card inserted in the legislation (in the form of a national driver’s license). But, something went wrong with Smith’s plan. The U.S. Senate had already clandestinely passed their version of the bill with the National ID Card intact. Smith, nor Gingrich, counted on the Freshman Class of ‘94 upsetting the apple cart.
