Is this a good way to discourage illegal aliens from staying in the USA?

Make the showing of a US government issued ID (driver's license, ID card, foreign passport with valid visa, etc) mandatory for ALL purchases of Alcohol and tobacco.

This would cut down on underage drinking and smoking too.

What is the disadvantage?

Tennessesse has such a law and it is working.

Answer:
Sounds brilliant to me, imagine Tennessee coming up with a very good idea.
Considering that I personally have witnessed possible illegals cashing pay checks at a store without showing any sort of ID, I doubt this is a workable solution.
every little bit helps
sounds great to me
i just don`t see it working, some hindu that owns the liquor store where i buy my drinkables is going to turn in illegals?
i just don`t think so
To discourage illegal aliens from staying in the USA I would grant increased powers to Mulder and Scully, and the Men in Black.

Altogether Now...

Here come the Men in Black

Here Come the Men in Black
They won't let you remember
It will just force a grey market for alcohol in the US for illegal immigrants.

Either that or they will stop drinking or just get a legal friend to buy it for them
You may discourage the illegal aliens from the south but how do you address the millions of illegal aliens coming from Asia, Russia, Ireland, China, Cuba, etc.

We don't talk about them because they havn't been targeted yet as the illegal Hispanics have. You would be shocked as to how many there are in the united states working jobs that no American will take because the Welfare system is too good.

Here's a good one: Revamp the welfare system so that Americans have to work and then they will take the jobs that illegal aliens are getting and when the illegal aliens can't find work here they will probably stop coming over.
That would help but taking away jobs and social services would work best.
Then we would have a lot of sober illegals, who quit smoking.
tobacco and drinking, hell.

I want ID required to vote.
That is way to many valuables for someone to leave lying around. Any single one of those things is hard to obtain in the first place, and if lost would cause major problems. Also, needing a passport and visa is unnecessary if someone is planning to stay in the US anyways...
What does that have to do with illegals? Not everyone drinks or smokes cigarettes!
no,there is no stopping them as long as employers,the powers that be and the store owners cater to them.also the landlords that rent to illegal persons are not held accountable.without jobs and a place to stay they would be forced to come here the legal way.
THE BIGGEST DISADVANTAGE IS THE IMMIGRATION DEPARTMENT WILL BE ABLE TO NAB ILLEGAL ALIENS IMMEDIATELY AND DEPORT THEM. THIS WILL ADVERSELY IMPACT THE MEXICAN ECONOMY AND WHEN THE CRIME IN THE US GOES DOWN A LOT OF OUR COPS WILL SWITCH TO GIVING YOU SPEEDING TICKETS RATHER THAN FIGHT REAL CRIME WHICH THESE "PILLSBURY DONUT-LIKE FAT BOYS FROM THE SOUTHERN BIBLE BELTS" DONT WANT TO DO.

MOST ILEGAL MEXICAN HAVE ABOUT 3 DEGREES IN ADVANCED ELECTRONICS FROM HARVARD, YALE, MIT, RUTGERS ETC AND SO WE WOULD HAVE A BRAIN DRAIN IF OUR SYSTEM CATCHES THESE ILLEGAL LAWN JOCKS AND DEPORTS THEM.
sounds great
Once and for all where do you live mars illegals can't get driver license or welfare but many American sure do maybe we should deport the ones that don't work and living off the Government.wither they are Mexicans or whites because you all come from somewhere All people this means you and your family
I am still worried about Paris Hilton. Do you really think I have time for a stinking ID card.
kill them.
