I have been looking for an article that I can’t find. I won’t give up though. I did run across this article that you might find interesting.
Since no one has mentioned, to my knowledge, the amount of information and the kind of information these data bases will hold.

excerpt
Belgium’s 10 million citizens will soon use their new digital eID cards to file taxes, open bank accounts and make purchases on the Internet—through the card’s unique ability to digitally authenticate identity.
excerpt
On the one hand, the card had to be a highly secure identification document that would be used by law enforcement agencies, both visually and electronically, and support both e-government and business applications,”
We have never had a computer with personal records stoled from a hospital or government office. /Sarc
So where will the data base computers be located. They should be in Fort Knox but instead these computers with personal information will be in Mexico.
It will be interesting to see what company will provide these cards. The stock market is down, Christmas sales down or off so Mexico gives their business to a company from Germany.
We have a Customs Treaty with Mexico. They will probably have access to all of our data bases.
Belgium and the rest of the world does not live next door to Mexico.
This is all brought to us by a Republican Congress and Republican President.
Just remember........"vote the lesser of two evils"....it'll do America reel gud.
You might should ask calpernia about the information data stored on the cards, she may know.
