Re “Show Me Your Papers” (column, July 2): Finally, common sense is beginning to shine. Bill Keller advocates a national ID card, and Senators Charles E. Schumer and Lindsey Graham have called for an “enhanced Social Security card.” This card already exists: the United States passport card.
According to the State Department, “the U.S. Passport Card can be used to enter the United States from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda at land border crossings or sea ports-of-entry and is more convenient and less expensive than a passport book.”
The challenge is to mandate it for all American citizens.
