ID Card for Workers at Center of Immigration Plan
Under a potentially controversial plan still taking shape in the Senate, all legal U.S. workers, including citizens and immigrants, would be issued an ID card with embedded information. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010...est=latestnews |

Re: National I.D. card or no job for your sorry...
oh don't get me started on this...
The National registry was put together several years ago under Homeland security. I went into the DMV and came up non-renewable... It took over 6 months to finally get the right to drive and work... Scwartzenegger even had his legal staff fighting to get it straightened out... What a mess, in a state with a right to work constitution... |

Re: National I.D. card or no job for your sorry...
"A person familiar with the legislative planning said the biometric data would likely be either fingerprints or a scan of the veins in the top of the hand. It would be required of all workers, including teenagers, but would be phased in, with current workers needing to obtain the card only when they next changed jobs, the person said.
The card requirement also would be phased in among employers, beginning with industries that typically rely on illegal-immigrant labor. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce doesn't have a position on the proposal, but it is concerned that employers would find it expensive and complicated to properly check the biometrics. Mr. Schumer said employers would be able to buy a scanner to check the IDs for as much as $800. Small employers, he said, could take their applicants to a government office to like the Department of Motor Vehicles and have their hands scanned there. " quote from the WSJ article linked in the above posts by Joe228 & Viking This is insane - it is being proposed to attempt to stop illegal immigration and teh employers who routinely hire illegal immigrants. So if someone already hires these folks and pays them under the table.....how would a national ID card stop that The article is worth a read - I recommend we watch this one closely El |
