I think it’d count. The problem would be in maintaining the security of the document itself, not to mention the civil liberties implications of a state of affairs that would require citizens to provide evidence that they are legally present in the land of their birth when, as a matter of policy, demanding that those not citizens or permanent residents carry evidence of their legal presence has been deemed a violation of civil and human rights.

I;m ambivalent about a national ID card or system, to tell you the truth.

I don’t like it either. I don’t understand the purpose when we have birth certificates and driver’s licenses.

Besides, it still doesn’t address those here legally on visas (work and school) who are not citizens, or those in the process of becoming citizens.
