The govt can certainly put enough people in the field for the census, that's true. I could not believe it when one of those bozos showed up at my place. I really do live rather remotely out of town.
Now here's a rub, if law enforcement officials are restrained from asking for identification when reasonable suspicion for doing so might reveal an individual's illegal status, how would you get around having your government ID issuing clerks requiring legal status be established?
Good question. Off the top of my head I don't have an answer but it's one of the details that would need to be hashed out. There's potential there to address immigration reform at the same time if such a program is implemented though.
Why not use the census statistics to establish some ground rules? They just finished putting those stats together last year, so the information is fresh. Theoretically, the census established information that would allow some determination of who should, or should not, be approached for issuance of said identification.
It's as good a starting point as any.
