Immigration Reform Plan: National ID Card

The Democrats in Congress are torn, really, between two more "sweeping" pieces of legislation. One is "Wall Street Reform," because they get de-facto control of many private businesses that way. The other is immigration reform, because they get to record detailed information about each and every citizen in this country.

That's right, the bill being introduced by Democrats contains a provision that every person who works in this country carry a card with biometric information on it to verify employment.

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.

Well, here we go again. Do Democrats REALLY not see anything wrong with this kind of massive program? It will be expensive, invasive, and incredibly anti-freedom. But apparently, Congressional Democrats LIKE the idea of having their Gestapo agents walk up to you and ask "Vere are your papers?"


Look, guys, if you honestly can't figure a way to make our immigration system work better WITHOUT adding such a program, then maybe you should resign your offices and let somebody else have a crack at it.

We're getting TIRED of all the anti-freedom and anti-individual programs being advanced by this rabidly-liberal administration and its allies in Congress. Whatever happened to "the government that governs least, governs best?"

NO, the Obama slogan appears to be closer to "It's OUR country, so sit down, shut up, and let us make history!"

Or maybe, "Don't question the workings of an Obamocracy!"

Either way, this isn't good news.
