Dems Now On Board With Permission To Work ID's

All in the name of war on brown people. At least that's their story and they're sticking to it. It's really about politicians allowing government to control us at the lowest levels of our lives. No card? No job for you. This is what unintended consequences looks like. Our country's already well along the road to a police state and this is one of the last nails in the coffin. Funny thing about this is that the dems are attaching their name to a plan that was originally offered by a republican. Now that's some bi-partisanship for you.

From The Hill

A plan by Senate Democratic leaders to reform the nation’s immigration laws ran into strong opposition from civil liberties defenders before lawmakers even unveiled it Thursday.

Democratic leaders have proposed requiring every worker in the nation to carry a national identification card with biometric information, such as a fingerprint, within the next six years, according to a draft of the measure.

The proposal is one of the biggest differences between the newest immigration reform proposal and legislation crafted by late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).

The national ID program would be titled the Believe System, an acronym for Biometric Enrollment, Locally stored Information and Electronic Verification of Employment.

It would require all workers across the nation to carry a card with a digital encryption key that would have to match work authorization databases.

“The cardholder’s identity will be verified by matching the biometric identifier stored within the microprocessing chip on the card to the identifier provided by the cardholder that shall be read by the scanner used by the employer,” states the Democratic legislative proposal.

The American Civil Liberties Union, a civil liberties defender often aligned with the Democratic Party, wasted no time in blasting the plan.

This reared its head some months ago and I vaguely remember a thread from back then, but this is a new twist on it. Now the dems are adopting it. Not sure if there's been one today, but if there was, I didn't see it anywhere in my search.

Having a national ID won't stop the flow of illegals it will just be more of a nusance to us and business's that will have to buy special card readers and who knows what else. Maybe the Dems and Reps should actually do their jobs and protect the borders first before shoving this down our throats.
