Local MP Alan Mak has opposed the Labour Government's plans to introduce mandatory digital ID.
The Government has announced that it will bring in digital ID across the country by the end of this Parliament.
But Mr Mak said the scheme was a cynical ploy to distract from Labour scandals and would not be an effective way to tackle illegal immigration.
He said: "Following a public consultation in 2023, the then Conservative Government listened to the people and did not implement digital ID or mandatory ID cards.
"But former prime minister Tony Blair, the Tony Blair Institute and the Labour Together think tank have been repeatedly pushing for mandatory digital ID cards since Labour came into office last year.
"Labour has now said it will bring in digital ID, but I oppose this plan and will be voting against it."
He added: "Labour have failed to tackle illegal immigration, with Channel crossings at their highest level on record at the same time as the economy teeters and Keir Starmer's ailing premiership is under threat from rivals.
"Mandatory digital ID is a smokescreen intended to distract people, but it will take years, cost billions when taxes are already rising to pay for Labour's damage to the economy and do nothing to stop an urgent immigration crisis that needs fixing now.
"By linking migration policy to mandatory national ID, Keir Starmer is also fuelling conspiracy theories and distrust of government."
Mr Mak said Conservatives continued to oppose mandatory national ID cards in principle and in practice.
"We will instead bring forward a hard-edged, derivable plan to secure our borders and continue the work we did in government to deliver excellent online services without making digital ID mandatory."
