Now days new parents get their baby a SSN without ID, as the parents need it for the tax deduction.
There is NO LAW anywhere in this country requiring you to had an ID. Photo IDs are required for a multitude of things such as driving, filling out an I-9 form to work or getting a library card.
There is NO National ID card. Passport is the nearest item, but not required. NO STATE has a law on the books requiring you to get ID. Supreme Court has ruled several times that you don't even have to show ID if you're just walking down the street and a cop stops you. Granted they always make up some BS claim as you were staggering drunk or other crap.
You don't even need a photo ID to get on a plane. Ain't easy, but one guy made a big to-do over it a few years ago. TSA realized people lose or get their ID stolen while on trips.
This is like the Republican crap of felons voting. Only a few states won't allow ex-felons who have finished parole to not vote.
Yep my grandmother in NY never drove. She had no ID. Also when you go vote you have to be registered or you dont vote.
