Senators Unveil Yet Another Flawed National ID Card Plan 3-22-2010

Moreover, Schneier adds: [B]iometrics are easy to steal. You leave your fingerprints everywhere you touch, your iris scan everywhere you look. Regularly, hackers have copied the prints of officials from objects they've touched, and posted them on the Internet. We haven't yet had an example of a large biometric database being hacked into, but the possibility is there. Biometrics are unique identifiers, but they're not secrets.

The people proposing this are not opposed to the hiring of illegals are they?

i am having trouble remembering that number. What was it?? 345, 456, Ah 666. One should read about the mark of the beast. For all you atheists out there it is foretold in the Bible.

I am astounded what some politicians recommend. On occasion.

Perhaps if they showed some good faith effort to solve the problem with the tools they have on hand a national ID card might be necessary.

They know that as well as we do, but they are holding the illegal immigrant population problems over our heads to use as a bargaining point.

This is a huge problem, but it’s caused by the failure of the federal government to use the tools that they already have. Their first response to any problem is to figure out how it can be used to benefit one of their pet projects or goals.

I get tired of hearing them say we can’t send 10 million illegal immigrants packing. BS, we could if we wanted to, but that would solve the problem without any new laws.

Get serious, do the heavy lifting to identify the ones who are here illegally, stop the silly sanctuary city policies and come down hard on employers who make it lucrative for an illegal to risk life and limb to get here.

How ‘bout we just try it for a while and see what happens!

“He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.”

Bush kept telling us that the terrorists attacked us because they hate our freedoms.
But as far as I can tell, the terrorists never took away any of our freedoms, the government did, in the name of fighting those terrorists.

0bama has continued the Bush era assault on personal liberty and privacy.
We’re turning into a police state, and the terrorists aren’t the ones doing it to us.

“In a bipartisan effort to curb the hiring of illegal immigrants...”

Now, FReepers and Republicans, you aren’t total sucker buffoons, are you?

You will carry your ID until they kill you. You will produce your ID WHENEVER and WHEREVER the NSF, or any other gov’t goon demands it. They will turn it OFF if you disobey, leaving you without identity, without your bank account, without “permission” to drive, and on, and on...

Think that’s crazy?

If you take this ID...

There is no other way to say it.

If you take this ID you will become the property of the state.

I’ve not advocated violence on this forum.

We must act to save ourselves if they try this.

This must not happen.

It must not come to pass, Americans.

Sen. Schumer calls the measure "the nub of solving the immigration dilemma."

How? Illegals will still be able to sneak in and work off the books for cash, or sell drugs, or smuggle other illegals, or perform other nefarious endeavors and you can bet nobody will deny them free healthcare.

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.

But Chris Calabrese, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer, warns the cards would be a "massive invasion" of privacy.

I can't believe that I'm siding with the ACLU on this one, but.......

they do have a point....

I'm thinking that this might be just a stealth way of issuing cards that are - in the small print - UNION CARDS.

Remember a few short weeks ago some day nursury had to start paying union dues because some of the mothers of the children paid them with Government money?

Remember that the unions are trying to get into your 401K...this would give them justification IF you were a dues paying union member.

We may just be "assimilated" in the union of their choice and then the obama cycle would be complete...as all communism/socialism is, is one, BIG, union.

Also, as another freeper said, they will be able to track you in whatever you do...(like they don't already). I wouldn't doubt the damn thing has a GPS chip in it.

Heil comrades, I vant to see Juur papersz.

Dontcha know? This ID card is going to be a real boost to the economy.

Why, think of the employment and business opportunities that will crop up in the fake ID card business. It’ll create a real grassroots enterprise and there will be hundreds of new jobs being created to make these new fake cards.

Think of all that money that will be flowing into the economy. People will have money to spend and the government will likely figure out a way to tax it and thereby reduce the deficit by .0000000000001%.

God help us.....
