Report: Images Supposedly Show ICE ID Cards for Illegal Immigrants

Fox News published pictures that supposedly show the ICE ID card the Biden administration will give to illegal immigrants.

The ID card looks like a driver’s license. It has room for a photograph, QR code, and identification information.

ICE announced the ID cards last year to “modernize documentation.”

The migrants whom officials do not remove from the country are released into the country and receive documents. The card will become the latest document:

ICE said the ID will have a photograph, biographic identifiers and “cutting-edge” security features, with the aim being to “improve current, inconsistent paper forms that often degrade rapidly in real-world use.” The agency said the program was still in development and would be considered for further expansion pending the outcome of the pilot.

The card could be used to check in and schedule reporting meetings with ICE. The agency hopes that it can be used in the field to easily verify an alien’s identity and to see if they are deportable. But the program has alarmed conservatives, who see it as part of an agenda for welcoming, rather than removing, those in the country illegally.

Republicans are ticked because of security reasons. Honestly cannot blame them:

They also fear that the card will include QR codes that link to court documents and other information that they say raises security concerns “as well as questions regarding the likelihood that significant taxpayer resources will be diverted from immigration enforcement to uploading documents into and maintaining a secure system.”

ICE claimed it would cut costs and save time since papers can go missing or misplaced: “Moving to a secure card will save the agency millions, free up resources, and ensure information is quickly accessible to DHS officials while reducing the agency’s FOIA backlog. For provisionally released noncitizens, the digital modernization will provide ongoing access to important immigration documents through the secure card and connected portal.”

On Wednesday, Eagle Pass, TX, saw thousands of mostly single adult males from Venezuela cross the border.

Last year at this time, over 15,000 Haitians crossed the border at the same spot.

How about we shut things down and reform our immigration system?

Better yet, how about we not give people the idea that they can come in without any problems? I know how that it is right now but let’s stop it.

BURN IT ALL DOWN

    ChrisPeters in reply to gonzotx. | September 21, 2023 at 8:39 pm

    That is stupid.

    Fixing the problems would be simple, but strength of character is needed to fight the Leftists in government and the media.

    Yeah, this is the anti-American anarchist rallying cry, whether it be the Weather Underground, the SDS, the antifa pukes, or now the so-called MAGAs. They don’t want to Make America Great Again, they want to, as gonzo shouts here, burn it all down.

    If there were ever an ad or tag line demonstrating the need to vote against Trump in the primaries, this is it. Burn it all down, she shouted.

      Equating MAGA supporters, who want a secure border and safe and prosperous country, with the Weather Underground or Antifa is as angry and malicious as Biden’s rants, the democrat’s J6 committee, and the abusive lawfare of Fani Willis and Jack Smith,

        txvet2 in reply to Concise. | September 22, 2023 at 12:09 am

        “Burn it all down” is not a rallying cry for a secure border and safe and prosperous country. It’s the antithesis of all of that, which is why the person or people who proclaims it is the equivalent of WU or Antifa, and is NOT dedicated to “making America great again”; they’re using that as a slogan to hide their intent to pull it down around our ears. Don’t be deceived by false prophets. Their intent is evil.

          Concise in reply to txvet2. | September 22, 2023 at 8:44 am

          I suppose I should content myself with noting that I was responding to the absurd comparison of the MAGA movement to domestic terrorist organizations one of which quite literally chanted “Burn it Down” as they committed acts of violence and arson in the summer of 2020. But I’ll add that President Trump has never advocated such violence outside the fever dreams of the cast of the View or Jack Smith and if an editor of this site has some evidence of this, come forward with it. When did President Trump ever literally chant “Burn it down”? I’m sure the hacks wrecking permanent damage to the rule of law would love to hear. If not, she should stop the childish and unbalanced insults to a movement she apparently doesn’t like and clearly doesn’t understand.

          Um, gonzo, quite literally shouted “burn it all down.” In caps. How is that any different than the antifa chants (except that gonzo wants YOU to go do the violence, the burning, looting, and murdering). Pay attention to what these Only Trumpers are saying. This isn’t the first time they went there; Phil used to say stuff like that all the time (before being banned for other reasons).

          And yes, “burn it all down” is most certainly an anarchist rallying cry. In this case, they believe America is a lost cause (I do not), and that the only solution is to ‘burn it all down’ and hope against hope (and history) that we magically end up in 1776. These are stupid people you are defending. Stupid, dangerous people. Maybe not all Only Trumpers, but enough of them to be very worrying. Very worrying indeed. Go read over at the nuthouse, the comments are disgusting and borderline seditious in many cases. It’s anarchy, anti-government crazy, paint it however you want, but when they adopt “BURN IT ALL DOWN” as a rallying cry (as gonzo does here, in all caps) . . . at least think about getting a clue.

          gonzotx | September 21, 2023 at 7:38 pm

          BURN IT ALL DOWN

          She’s said this often, as have other Only Trumpers (who are really just crazy people who want to see America destroyed . . . for her own good. Or something.).

          txvet2 in reply to txvet2. | September 22, 2023 at 12:05 pm

          And I was responding to the fact that the one chanting “Burn it down” was ONE of your fellow MAGA warriors (and not the only one), as was Fuzzy. They’re the ones fostering the comparison.

          Concise in reply to txvet2. | September 22, 2023 at 12:46 pm

          Then respond to him not me. I suspect he was being figurative not literally, like Antifa which actually does burn things down. But that may be too complicated for you since you can’t manage to respond to the right comment.

          Well, yes, gonzo was being figurative not literal. She wants to absolutely and completely destroy our nation because she thinks it’s already lost, so the solution is to “burn it all down” and start over. That is the goal of antifa, it was the goal of the SDS and the Weather Underground, too. They bombed things, they shot people, they didn’t literally burn things down (well, some of their bombs did cause fires, I guess).

          It wasn’t a literal burning things down; it was about destroying our society, our culture, our government . . . but I can’t believe you don’t know that. I really can’t believe you are that stupid. In fact, I refuse to believe you don’t understand that “burn it all down” is not a literal cry to set fire to all the things. Who on this earth is that freaking stupid? Certainly not you. I hope.

          If you post a comment, you invite a response. If you don’t like the responses you get, don’t post comments criticizing somebody else’s comment.

          Concise in reply to txvet2. | September 22, 2023 at 1:22 pm

          I don’t mind thoughtful intelligent responses. The cliched never-Trump inanity tends to get rather tedious though.

          txvet2 in reply to txvet2. | September 22, 2023 at 3:48 pm

          No more so than the cliche’ onlyTrump swill we have to put up with. I responded to you because you misrepresented Fuzzy’s comment. I wasn’t responding to Gonzo. If you want intelligent responses, post intelligent comments. No go ahead and whine again, but let me point out that the internet is full of onlyTrump websites where you can go and tell each other how smart you are. This isn’t one of them.

          Concise in reply to txvet2. | September 22, 2023 at 5:12 pm

          I didn’t misrepresent anything. Her comment speaks for itself. As does the nonsense you write. Maybe you and Peter Strzok can exchange obnoxious insults on Twitter or X or whatever.

          txvet2 in reply to txvet2. | September 22, 2023 at 6:07 pm

          Hell, you can’t even manage a good insult.

          Precisely right, tex.

        wendybar in reply to Concise. | September 22, 2023 at 4:57 am

        It’s dumb, and it shows the hatred for Trump, Trumps all in Fuzzy’s world.

          amwick in reply to wendybar. | September 22, 2023 at 8:30 am

          I may not agree,, but it is an expression of profound exasperation. People are passionate.. some more than others. I would like every single illegal alien returned to the country where they crossed into the USA, Don’t care where they came from. Mexico, either the government, or the cartels are behind 99% of this.

      I get what you’re trying to say, but that has to be one of the dumber comments (as written) you’ve made.

      Actually it is a call to every one who loves America and wants every institution , from top to bottom to be cleaned out completely or eliminated

      We had a Republic and we lost it

From Sept 1st through 20th the Biden Admin ordered the release of more than 100,000 illegal border crashers-enough to double the population of cities like Yuma, AZ.

Think about what Biden is doing to this country with his out-of-control border policies. How many millions more?

    What part of this is a quote, a tweet (x), or whatever you just copied and pasted? I really don’t get why you keep posting other people’s thoughts, ideas, and words as your own. Can you really not articulate your own stance?

      Clearly it is stated as someone else’s

      Why on earth should I repeat something by rewording it?

      It’s presented to show the absurdity we are in and we aren’t voting our way out

      Gee I forgot quote marks, my bad but it’s pretty obvious

      Are you in therapy?

ICE is supposed to enforce our border, not print hall passes for every idiot who crosses it.

    Q: Why does the government issue these ID cards?

    A: Because the people are undocumented.

    Q: Okay, so if they have no documents how does the government verify their identity before issuing them an ID card?

    A: Simple, they ask them what their name is.

    Q: What does that prove?

    A: Nothing.

      Milhouse in reply to Paula. | September 21, 2023 at 8:54 pm

      They’re generally not undocumented. “Undocumented” is just a euphemism lefties use for “not having a document that would show them to be here legally, because they’re not”.

      The pretense is that the only difference between legal and illegal is the possession of the document, so giving them one will fix it, which is like saying the difference between a living person and a dead one is simply the lack of a death certificate, so if we just issue certificates to the living they will magically drop dead.

        Or, if you don’t issue one for a dead person, they become a Democrat voter…….. no, wait, that happens either way. Never mind.

        henrybowman in reply to Milhouse. | September 22, 2023 at 6:50 pm

        The more cogent analogy would have been: if we just prevent them from issuing a death certificate for momma, she’ll live forever!

The same ID NJ gives out to illegals at the DMV. Useful for all kinds of things, especially VOTING!!!!!! Now PA will be giving the same ID to illegals when they show up demanding a Drivers License.

The left plays to win, because winning is all that matters to them. Too bad we don’t have a functioning opposition party that does the same for the American people..

    Milhouse in reply to AppraisHer. | September 21, 2023 at 8:56 pm

    No, it is NOT useful for voting. And no, PA will not be giving this ID to illegals, they will simply give them a driver’s license, which there is no reason for them not to have, if they know how to drive safely. That license will not allow them to vote, or to do anything else but drive.

      amwick in reply to Milhouse. | September 22, 2023 at 8:33 am

      I know Millhouse is an actual lawyer,, much more of an expert… but this is confusing.. The governor just signed automatic voter registration.

      https://www.governor.pa.gov/newsroom/what-people-are-saying-about-governor-shapiro-implementing-automatic-voter-registration-in-pennsylvania/

        Milhouse in reply to amwick. | September 23, 2023 at 10:24 am

        For eligible voters.
        “Starting today, Commonwealth residents who are obtaining new or renewed driver licenses and ID cards and are eligible to vote will be automatically taken through the voter registration application process at PennDOT centers”

        First their eligibility will be established, and if they are eligible, they will be taken through the application process. That process will not be omitted.

        Aliens, who are of course perfectly entitled to drivers’ licenses and are routinely issued them in all 50 states, will not be automatically registered to vote.

        The purpose of the registration drive is not to sign up aliens who will vote, it’s to sign up citizens who will not vote, and therefore will be available for votes to be cast in their names.

        Milhouse in reply to amwick. | September 23, 2023 at 10:24 am

        Oh, and I have never claimed to be an actual lawyer. I just read a lot of law.

      which there is no reason for them not to have
      There absolutely IS a reason for them not to have one – they’re not here legally and should be sent home.

        Milhouse in reply to GWB. | September 23, 2023 at 10:26 am

        That’s not a reason for them not to have drivers’ licenses. The fact is that they’re here, and they’re not being sent home; so they will need drivers’ licenses and there’s no sense in refusing to license them.

      They shouldn’t have driver’s licenses any more than they should have green cards, work permits, free housing or welfare. It’s like picnic food to ants. The ONLY way to stop the flood is to remove the incentives, as should be more than obvious by now.

        Milhouse in reply to txvet2. | September 23, 2023 at 10:28 am

        A driver’s license is not an incentive. Its only purpose is road safety. These people are here, and they have to drive; you either train them, test them, license them, and subject them to the same road laws as everyone else, or you accept that they will drive without training or licenses and will cause accidents.

I am totes sure they won’t be handing this ID card out until they can actually VERIFY the identity, the employment history, the educational attainment and the criminal record of these illegal aliens. /S

Here’s a thought several people have proposed recently:

Let’s go to all the houses in blue cities and suburbs that have the nifty hip Democrat slogans like “Hate has no home here” or Biden/Harris signs in the window or yards and ask how many migrants they are willing to take into their homes permanently.

    Why ask?
    I’ve endorsed the idea they should show up with a bus and appropriate census information.
    [opening the door] “May I help you?”
    [BP agent]: “Mrs Arthur? I see here you have a 4 bedroom home and only you and your husband residing here, based on the information you provided to the US government in 2020?”
    [Mrs Arthur]: “Ummm, yes. Why? What’s this about?”
    [BP agent, waving over his shoulder at the bus]: “OK, please sign here.”
    [Mrs Arthur, perplexed signs] “But, who are those people?”
    [BP agent, as 6 men and women and a child approach her door, carrying various bags and packs]: “These are your authorized immigrants. You’re only getting 2 per excess bedroom so consider yourself lucky. We might be back later with 6 more. Make them comfortable.”

So is this new ID card dehumanizing, suppressive, and way too complicated for poor people to obtain, like… you know, a physical Voter ID?

Sounds like a big old nothing burger to me. Diverting resources? Do you have any idea the kind of documentation every interaction with CBP and ICE generates? There are going to be arrest reports, initial asylum screenings, forms for parole, notices of court dates, etc. It’s a bureaucracy, it runs on paper. This card is just one rather unremarkable cog in a complex system.

They should all be given Deport Immediately cards.

Bucky Barkingham | September 22, 2023 at 8:04 am

Biden has enabled the release into the country of millions of illegals in defiance of existing law. Yet the RINOs in Congress can’t bring themselves to impeach him for it. Impeach him, have the Senate trial and let each Senator be on record if they support open borders in defiance of Federal law.

current, inconsistent paper forms that often degrade rapidly in real-world use
Ummm, if you got them deported more in line with reason, then those documents wouldn’t have time to “degrade.” Sounds like they were an indication of the structural problems with our overwhelmed immigration control agencies.

It’s great that these cards are cutting edge. That way the illegals won’t have to bother acquiring jackknives.
