“I don’t believe that “All Things Considered” intentionally lied to listeners.”
I listen often. I do believe that “All Things Considered” intentionally lied to listeners.
E-Verify empowers a critical element in a budding nationwide electronic police state. What most people don't see is what happens when these powers they think are so non-invasive are combined.
What happens when E-Verify abets a massive industry in fake ID? Add biometric-ID to the requirements.
What happens when people want tracking food distribution in case of terrorism? You would add the National Animal Identification System, capable of tracking the movements and transactions involving 300 million animals. Oh, but what about other kinds of food? Did you know that SB-510 mandated tracking of all food, from farmer to store (there's a minimum size of operation, but that won't last)?
Let's see... the capability to track 300 million people plus biometric ID. Got it.
What happens when sexual predators released from jail? How about GPS bracelets tracked by cell phone. Now, scale that up to the fact that every cell phone now has a GPS receiver. Now they know where you are.
A national sales tax? Why, reporting every transaction to the Federal government! What kind of information systems will then become necessary to enforce it??? Then they'll know EVERYTHING you buy.
What happens when it becomes plain that it is easy to construct weapons of mass destruction from commonly available goods. Why, the "security" freaks would preclude anyone with such associations from buying those goods, putting a search of the purchaser's records (without probable cause) before they are allowed to buy.
How much different is that from the POWERS inherent to E-Verify?
All those software systems are now in place or getting there. They'll be able to monitor where you are, where you go, where you live, what you buy, and where you can work, even what you say. They'll even have Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST) to detect what you might be thinking.
Such systems for monitoring and control were the stock in trade of the NAZI Party. Such systems are attendant to both the Brady Bill, the PATRIOT Act, and E-Verify, and please don't tell me that they won't be abused because they already have been.
With each such step, we allow the Feds to put the pieces in place for totalitarian control to a degree never achieved in the entire history of the world. E-Verify is exactly such a step. Why advocate for such a system when it is totally unnecessary? There are far more efficient and effective ways to get illegals out of the country. Bounty systems are proven to work, they adhere to Constitutional letters of marque, AND have the protections for the falsely accused of both civil and criminal liability for false arrest, harassment, and imprisonment.
BTTT
I occasionally listen to NPR out of San Diego for the chuckles. Everyone should try it so you can hear what racist, elitist, soccer mom cr@p is spewed out of NPR utilizing our dollars.
Ping!
