Some thoughts on the subject:

I am a legal alien, the fact of the matter is that the BCIS/INS employees don't know whats-what half the time. I had to fill out an AR-11 form (change of address) because I moved 2 streets over from my previous residence. The first time I submitted the form the INS employees did not know what the form was.

As a result there were 700,000 AR-11 forms sitting in boxes at the INS at the beginning of this year, they did not know what to do with the forms.

Most legal aliens have a green-card (wich is PINK not green BTW and it has a magnetized strip on the back). Is the strip there for show? what data is already contained on the strip?

The FBI has my fingerprints on file,and has done a background check with INTERPOL, RCMP & Local Law Enforcement, but they do not share this information with the BCIS/INS, Why?...Now if I have to go to the BCIS/INS I have to be fingerprinted again by the BCIS/INS and they have the FBI do my background check again, HUH !!

My SSN is also only good for where I am working, I cannot use it anywhere else to work.

Soon enough all passports will contain some form of bio-metric data, isn't a passport a national ID anyway? I am required to obtain a bio-metric passport from Canada for 2004/2005.

The real joke of my passport is that the new Bio-metric enhanced passport will be registered with the UN..what the hell is that all about (not aboot !).
