Actually, no.

Number 2 should be "Prohibiting terrorists from obtaining pilot's
licenses."

It is nothing less than disingenuous to color this debate on a 
National ID card as an illegal immigration control issue.

After 11 September 2001, the _entire_ impetus for a National ID
card (née Real ID) was to put into a place a mechanism to identify
people who weren't supposed to be here -- namely terrorists.
