the stated justification is that it will let the government finally get immigration under control. but ID has never been the bottleneck for immigration enforcement. there have been countless cases where we have someone dead to rights, we know they're in the country illegally (and have committed other crimes besides), yet the judge finds a way to block deportation on ECHR grounds. mark my words, they'll find a "right" to digital ID somewhere in the human rights framework, regardless of immigration status. and then we're back to square one.
