We need to beat the drum and raise the issue that this is some sort of sneaky backdoor way to harass illegal immigrants and minorities.

1) Harassing minorities? That's a stretch.

2) Harassing illegal immigrants? Who cares? They will just buy the same phones in Mexico without ID before they cross the border, or better yet purchase a butt load of them and sell them here at a profit.
