 a national id card  it sounds like the bipartisan coalition of senators shummer and graham have single handedly come up with a plan to solve the immigration problem to address the problem they will require everyone have the biometric national id we will have to carry it with us and use it whenever we apply for a job it sounds foolproof because we all know there won t be any employers that will hire someone who doesn t have this new id we know that never happens so it looks like the problem will soon be solved i am sure the first thing the illegal aliens will do when they cross over the border in the middle of nowhere on our southern border will be to go to one of the nearest id centers and get signed up for their new id card the other good news is not only will the illegal aliens have these ids but we will also i can t imagine why no one hasn t come up with this idea before why would the government enforce the immigration laws when we can spend millions of dollars creating another level of bureaucracy that will deprive the legal citizens of this country from our constitutional right to privacy they say the card will only have three basic pieces of information on it 1 a biometric identity verification 2 an electronic identity verification and 3 an authenticated electronic signature if you are like me i just wonder how long it will be before the federal government will want to have other meaningful information on the id like things they are not entitled to know because of our right to privacy it just seems awfully convenient they want to implement this new idea under the guise of fixing illegal immigration there are other ways to address the problem without infringing on the rights of the legal citizenry if you think your privacy rights are being jeopardized by this proposal make sure you vote for the people who are running for office this fall who will protect those rights for an indepth story on the issue from newsmax click on this link 267
