A new attempt at immigration reform may require a biometric ID card for all working Americans. Privacy advocates aren't pleased
National identification cards, long feared by privacy advocates, may soon become mandatory for American workers. In a bipartisan effort to curb the hiring of illegal immigrants, Sens. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have proposed legislation that, if passed, will require all working Americans to carry biometric ID cards containing fingerprint records and other personal information. Sen. Schumer calls the measure "the nub of solving the immigration dilemma." But Chris Calabrese, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer, warns the cards would be a "massive invasion" of privacy. Are national ID cards the solution to our immigration woes — or an unacceptable intrusion into our lives? (Watch Ron Paul chime in on the national ID card debate)

Obama is the beast.
Congress is his high priest.
How long before Congess shows greater wonders than Obamacare, by authorizing fire to come down from heaven (pick an enemy/target)?
Missouri opted out of the Real ID a year or two ago as a sovereignty violation. I suspect there will be no national ID card issued to Missiurians.
they sure will be issued in the republic of illinois. you can bet on that.
what a horrible picture (i’m not blaming you for posting it).
” He has been able to do in this country to a sizable degree because of them.”
Correct and important to remember. We all (on FR) see things because we look deeper into what is going on. Most just slide along not wanting to disturb things.
To most, it will always be okay, and besides look at what we are getting.....
This is part of the Healthcare issue. During Hillarycare, a national Health ID was to be issued. This is the Health ID.
BTW, the other thing we get with these ID’s is alien amnesty.
I did work for a company in san fran that had the contract to develop the technology for the biometric card in ‘03. The intent was to require states to use it as a drivers license, and the feds in the us passport. I left the company in ‘04 - but the card was supposed to be used n GA and TX in ‘05, and other states as the legislature adopted the DHS standards thereafter. I have no reason to think they didn’t. My florida license has the slight (very slight) bump at the top - I’ve always assumed this rolled out as planned.
scary stuff...
I know. No such thing as privacy anymore.
People have them stolen, loose them, etc. Natural next course is under the skin and the hand and forehead have been determined as the best placement places..this from the last time we fought this beast.... 666
Along with all their relatives to take American jobs and MUCH cheaper wages. Then we will be like Europe, most people on the DOLE! And to lazy to work.
LOVE IT!
That has been the plan all along. Beck may sound alarmist, but he speaks the TRUTH! Which is why the marxist demonize him as much as they do Rush. Truth is some times hard to hear. WAKE UP AMERICA.
OBAMACARE—CASTRO APPROVED! Makes a good bumper sticker.
He want’s it under your skin so it won’t be lost or stolen.
but i don't think it's what they had in mind... 8^)
What the ?!
Why do you think he’s referred to as Grahamensty?
YEP! The movie Logan’s Run comes to mind.
May not have been, but when they implant them in your forehead or palm it is as the Bible says the mark of the beast.
