Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, March 09, 2010

Lawmakers working toward a new comprehensive immigration bill have settled on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would be required to obtain.

Under the controversial plan taking shape in the Senate, all legal U.S. workers, including citizens and immigrants, would be issued an ID card with embedded information, such as fingerprints, to tie the card to the worker.

The ID card plan is one of several steps advocates of an immigration overhaul are taking to address concerns that have defeated similar bills in the past. The uphill effort to pass a bill is being led by Sens. Chuck Schumer (D, NY) and Lindsey Graham (R, SC). An administration official said the White House has no position on the card.

Immigration Bill: Shumer, Graham Propose National ID Card

This, of course, is the first step. Then they'll come for your guns and you bibles. Then they'll force your daughters to have abortions and your sons to go queer. Then they'll build the trans America highway and install a world government and put a UN trooper on every street corner.

In 2005, Congress passed the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief, or REAL ID.

According to the Tenth Amendment Center, "States were originally given until May 2008 to comply with the law, but widespread resistance resulted in the Federal Government changing that deadline not once, not twice, but three times." "More than two dozen states have passed resolutions or binding laws opposing the act, rendering the Bush-era law nearly null and void in practice. Bottom line? Nullification works."

Once again, globalist scum carry both the D and R labels.

Sorry Stirs, I scanned the page to see if this was posted, but somehow missed yours.

"Under the controversial plan taking shape in the Senate, all legal U.S. workers, including citizens and immigrants, would be issued an ID card with embedded information, such as fingerprints, to tie the card to the worker."

I believe we already have something required for all legal citizens who work here, it is called a Social Security card.

A 5 year old with a set of crayons could fake a Social Security card, you vacuous queef.

Correct, but the bio ID is so much better! You see, when a SSN card is used in an ID theft, it is difficult to fix your credit [in extreme cases, they have to issue you a new SSN]. Later, when your "fingerprint" card is stolen and used in ID theft, you must replace your fingerprint.

A great thing about being an American is that here in the great US of A we don't have to show our "papers" to anyone. We are not required to carry any identification of any sort. (Obviously paperwork is needed for certain privleged activities such as driving or international travel.) The notion of some Kommisar or fascist police officer demanding our "papers" smacks of dictatorship. In America, a person minding their own business and not hurting anything should not be required to prove who they are or what they are doing simply cuz the government wants to know.

Having said that, I am not offended by appropriate paperwork being required by employers to job applicants. The right to employ someone is a privledge. It is an activity already regulated by tomes full of statutes. Requiring the employer to confirm that the applicant for a job actually is legally entitled to perform the job under US law should not offend anyone.

Funny, I thought the left were against something like this, just like they are against the Patriot Act. Is this some of the change we can believe in?

Didn't you hear? They aren't against the Patriot Act anymore since it got extended during the Obama administration. Or if they are, they are very quiet about it all of a sudden for some reason.

Why am I surprised a tool named Axe, is too stupid to understand we already have things in place, which illegals and employers either forge or get around? Of course this is the same idiot who thinks diabetes is not a preventable disease, and that insuring everyone to pay for emergency care is better than preventing the emergency, so I guess one has to consider the source.

My point is, we already have E-verify amongst other laws requiring all employers verify status before hiring, sadly many do not and will find a way to get around this as well.
