Believe me, there won't be a problem. And Bloomberg's suggestion will not solve the problem you propose.

I'd prefer a bar code on the forehead. Maybe they will give us the option. ;^)

Left wing politicians should be chained to basement posts Monday thru Friday and brought out every Saturday afternoon for a whipping in the public square. And they should be allowed exercise on Sunday in alligator infested lakes.

Mayor (would-be-Emperor) Bloomberg seems to be overreaching his authority (again).

Bloomberg compared his proposed federal identification database to the Social Security card, insisting that such a system would not violate citizens' privacy and was not a civil liberties issue.

This guy calls himself a Conservative?

Bloomberg is a lifelong Dem; he isn't even a "moderate" GOPer!

The ONLY reason he ran as a *cough, cough* Republican, is because he knew that he couldn't win the DEM mayoral primary.

He's been a lousy mayor...even as Dem N.Y.C. mayors go. Koch, though a Dem, was better; much better.

Bloomy didn't have all that much of a mind to lose, in the first place.

NO...he NEVER has and he never really even called himself a "Republican"; he just ran with the R after his name. Everyone KNEW that he was a lifelong Dem and hadn't changed his stripes. Bloomberg is a TRUE example of the term RINO! Actually, he's even below a RINO.

Why on earth do you imagine that anyone,ANYONE, least of all Bloomy, ever considered him to be a "CONSERVATIVE"?

This statist has never seen a government solution he doesn't like. But I agree with one aspect of his statism. I think we should pass a law, too. A law that dictates this guy can never hold office again.

Just put firearms in the place of legal workers and you get the idea.

Seems a necessary adjunct of the Right's position of immegration. Else one has no way of determining what one's status is. The question is whether one must also wear a colored badge on the lapel also.

Newsflash, Sherlock. It's not the legal workers we're concerned about.

Beautifully said.
