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.

Under the 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, such as fingerprints, to tie the card to the worker.

Pardon me comrade, can I see your Federal ID card?

Hell, lets just get bar-codes tattooed on our foreheads! spit.......

Moderator,, can you remove this? someone beat me by a minute.

Personally, I like a national ID card that will allow people to work and to vote. No card? No work, no vote.

I understand that it has echoes of a Police State and Revelation, but I think this still would be a good thing.

Don’t worry about it.
As you know, you gotta really quick on the draw in FReeperland, haha.

I suggest then, that you remove yourself to Europe, where such things are already done. This is all about tracking and documenting your every move, and is completely anti-freedom and anti-American.

What’s your feeling on voter identification?

[wmileo]

I would take this opportunity to politely disagree.

We don't need a card. We need people at the voting booths, law enforcement and employers to do the right thing. Any honest effort to stop criminals and illegal voters should not take my rights away.

The same argument applies to guns and gun control.

Could I use the short form of my birth certificate to get one?

"It's the nub of solving the immigration dilemma politically speaking," Mr. Schumer said in an interview. The card, he said, would directly answer concerns that after legislation is signed, another wave of illegal immigrants would arrive. "If you say they can't get a job when they come here, you'll stop it."

Slime-bag Schumer was instrumental in the 1986 Amnesty. He also assured Americans then - concerned about "another wave of" illegals - that with "employee sanctions" in that bill "you'll stop it."

After Schumer 1986 Amnesty legalized 2.5 million, we now have 12-20 million more illegals and the slime-bag is again selling his @#$% with assurances he knows are false.

That would be 666 on the forehead.

Can we possibly do anything else to tear this country apart, Barry ?

"What’s your feeling on voter identification?"

Very much in favor of it. But that is a STATE responsibility, not the Federal Gov't, which is the key difference.

[ClearCase_guy]

Good point.

I’ve got a worn out copy of my birth announcement from my local newspaper—will that do ?

[seemoAR]

Part of the plan. Instead of closing the borders, we give every illegal nut job in the world open access. Then the sheepie start complaining and we get a national ID.

Why not, I've hear some people are able to get a job with that type of documentation.

ID cards will have chip or bar code. We are nothing more tan pets now. "Here, fluffy. Fetch Uncle Sammy some more money, Fluffy."

If people realized that the IRS is going to run health care, not HHS, they'd freak and need t visit the ER which Obama doesnt want us pets to do.
