Control
- this is what fuels many
Congressmen and women. Recently,
two U.S. senators met with President
Obama, vouching for a biometric
national ID card that would force
workers to submit to a fingerprint,
hand, or iris scan. Any worker
failing to comply with this
biometric tracking mandate, would be
terminated from their job.
The program
would be titled
the "Believe System," an acronym for
Biometric Enrollment, Locally stored
Information and Electronic
Verification of Employment.
The ID card
would contain a digital encryption
key that would be required to match
work authorization databases. The
micro-processing chip on the card
would store the biometric
identifier. The worker would be
required to carry this card and the
employer would be forced to scan it.
The two sponsors of the legislation,
Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Lindsey
Graham (R-SC)
say the new identification cards
will "ensure that illegal workers
cannot get jobs, dramatically
decreasing illegal immigration."
After meeting privately with
President Obama,
the senators
plan was "promising," according to
Obama, and the president "welcomed"
their new ID card law.
This biometric
tracking system
would force
employers to refuse someone work who
didn't match up in the database,
bringing up the question:
"What if freedom loving American
don't want their hands or eyes
scanned?" In a free country, no one
should be required to submit their
body to such control. Many
American's already observe this
control on a daily basis when they
fly commercially. Whether they are
being scanned by a radiation device
or whether they are being patted up
and down by TSA thugs, American's
should stand for their right to
their own body.
This ID
law would control employers as well,
requiring them to have a government
scanning device, or an "ID scanner"
to verify the ID cards. This could
lead to "ID scans" for anything,
including routine purchases as well.
