I'm all for solving problems, but I am not for committing a major disenfranchisement under cover of solving a non-problem. People who want to just ram through voter ID laws without solving the problem of undocumented citizens can't be treated as serious members of society.

Maybe you're not helping to solve this problem and you're just making it worse by overstating the problem and causing others to argue over whether there is even a problem?

Maybe we want to be more like Europe with IDs from birth and to use them for all government activities.

Who are you to be the arbiter of who is a serious member of society?
