A plan by Senate Democratic leaders to reform the nations immigrations laws ran into strong opposition from civil liberties defenders before lawmakers even unveiled it Thursday.
Democratic leaders have proposed requiring every worker in the nation to carry a national identification card with biometric information, such as a fingerprint, within the next six years, according to a draft of the measure.

sounds like “carrying papers” to me
Why just workers? Seems like this would be a good idea for people on welfare too.
NO I.D. CARDS. We already have plenty of ID. This about C-O-N-T-R-O-L !
WE didn’t do anything wrong - the illegals did.
NO NO NO.
This bad idea, if implemented, will run into a buzz saw of court challenge within the first week of issue.
I’m pretty sure mine will get lost, or damaged to the part of uselessness, within days of receipt. I’m *such* a klutz when it comes to handling sensitive things like a biometric ID card.
Now they show their true nature.
Is this an example of the “ver ah yaw papuhs” routine?
(Through the benevolent efforts of the Democrat Party.)
/s/
IMHO
No wonder all of the screaming about the new AZ law. They want us to get so pissed off that we will buy into this piece of $hit.
They’re goin’ for all the marbles.
And hellth care is the perfect excuse.
“Papers Please! “
This is MSNBCs cry for two weeks.
Opens up a whole new criminal element—fake ID cards...fake BELIEVERs.
(that has to be the worst acronym...ever!)
well then comrade, you would not be able to qualify for your rationed checking withdrawals at govt owned banks, your rationed healthcare from govt clinics, or your rationed carb credits to buy fuels from govt owned gas stations
The same people who are so opposed to identifying illegals have no problem with forceing us to have our papers. Run the illegals back to Mexico and we won’t need this BS>
see below, it gives govt a means to track and ration all of your daily activities to ensure “everyone” gets a “fair share” - and gives according obama’s rules
Wow! They go nuts when Arizona decides to enforce Federal Law but they want to make every American carry “their papers”
You are losing your freedom by leaps and bounds. You need a passport to enter your own country. You will need a national ID card to work? The new financial legislation will require incredible reporting to a new agency including citizens checking accounts and consumer credit payments. You will not be able to go to the bathroom without the government knowing about it. How’s that hope and change working out?
Can anyone explain why the dems want to demand that ‘we’ carry ID cards and produce them on demand, but alw enforcement CANNOT question someone susppected of being in the country illegally.
We have a SOCIAL SECURTIY CARD. Give that a little technolgy with bio-metrics. I am fine with that, but not with carrying it on my person 24/7
