Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg thrust himself into the national immigration debate Wednesday, advocating a plan that would establish a DNA or fingerprint database to track and verify all legal U.S. workers.

Yeah, those guys. Whatever happened to them?!?
I wonder if there ever was enough of us?
We've lost. Control has won.
I've never even had a card. Mine got lost when I was a kid. Nobody ever even looks for a card as long as you know the number.
Apparently not.
a plan that would establish a DNA or fingerprint database to track and verify all legal U.S. workers.
I think he means all illegal aliens working in the USA.
Why would this bleeding heart liberal keep track of us workers? I mean, I know he's pro illegal aliens, so I would expect illegal to be tracked, not legals.
its totally useless as a method of authentication.
But the SS cannot be used as a form of ID.
Someone's gotta say it. It's time for a revolution: let's bring back liberty to Canada and the USA! God I loved the USA.
Are you referring only to his tenure as mayor? Considering the financial business he built, I don't know if 'lucky' is the right word. What he's done at City Hall is one thing, but before that, if you put aside the politics, I think he's more a case of smarts & hard work than luck.
And Ringo Starr's ability is severely underappreciated, usually by people who don't know much about how good he was & how important his metronome-like timing was to the musical aspect of what that band did. The popular conception of him as a goofy fourth wheel is completely inaccurate.
I would agree that Bloomberg is barking up the wrong tree here--with an idea that looks good on paper for this or that reason, but which might well be a disaster in practice. If one is going to consider an idea that goes against the grain of small-gov't conservatism, which is something I try to examine on a case-by-case basis, well, this ain't the one.
Dude - Bill Clinton!!! WJC was THE luckiest man ever to walk the earth. Perot entered the race and handed him the election. He inherited a growing economy that he managed not to screw up, and he had the Commie media on his side. If not for the last two, he would have been a one-termer, and would have been tied with (or ahead of) Jimmy Carter for the worst President ever.
Nope Poppy Bush screwed that one up all by himself. He would not have gotten the majority of Perot votes as most would have likely stayed home instead. Poppy Bush lost it being a Liberal that the Bush's by family tradition are. Look up Prescott Bush SR and see for yourself. I don't mean Poppy Bush's brother I mean their father. Bush SR abandoned the Reagan mandate and that cost him the White House. The Bush's hated Reagan's policies.
Color me disgusted.
Time to watch Gattica again?

If that worthless RINO Bloomberg's for it, I'm against it.
Because unfortunately the criteria has been lowered for what passses as a Republican and a Conservative (the two have definitely diverged for many politicians, and have been watered down by many others).
"Liberty through Servitude!"
I gotta buy some bumpersticker supplies, campaign season is creeping up on us fast!
Indeed.
In just a juste a couple years we will have a national ID card via the Real ID act. It won't be mandatory at first, but without it, you can't do limited functions such as boarding planes or entering certain federal facilities. Mark my words, it will become mandatory in the not too distant future.
